The Medical and Pharmaceutical Statistics Research Unit is directed by Dr Thomas Jaki and undertakes collaborative research with the pharmaceutical industry and medical research institutes.
The post is offered for a three year period in the first instance and offers the unique opportunity to develop an independent body of research related to early phase clinical trials.

You will work on on methods for early phase trials, provide support for trials implementing novel designs and become involved in professional development courses associated with your expertise. Experience of teaching and programming skills using software such as R are desirable, but training on these aspects of the job can be provided.
Starting date: 1 September 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter.
