Postdoctoral Researcher in Medical Statistics / Epidemiology Job number: ACAD102207 Salary £35,609 - £40,082 Closing date for applications 05-Oct-2016 Exciting opportunity for a postdoctoral research associate in medical statistics/ epidemiology (with excellent statistical skills) to use and extend multilevel models for analysing within-person variation. The post is full time until 31st May 2019, and will be based in the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit within the School of Social and Community Medicine, University of Bristol. There is growing interest in whether the variability of an individual's repeated exposure measures (e.g. repeated measures of blood pressure) might be related to health. In this project, we aim to evaluate and extend statistical methods, based on multilevel models, for modelling fluctuation in measures within an individual, and relating that fluctuation to risk factors and later disease. You will work with a multidisciplinary team of statisticians, epidemiologists and clinicians, including experts from the Centre for Multilevel Modelling (Bristol) and Edinburgh. You will have a PhD (or equivalent research experience) in medical/applied statistics or a related quantitative discipline and a track record of research published in high impact journals. Experience analysing longitudinal data is desirable. Skills in simulating data and developing/extending statistical methods, and an ability to work effectively in a multi-disciplinary environment would be an advantage.
