You will possess a higher degree in statistics or other relevant subject (MSc or higher), have some experience of medical research and a good knowledge of clinical trial design and analysis. You will also be a strong and enthusiastic communicator about the value of sound statistical approaches. The ability to work as part of a team and to organize and prioritise your own work are essential.
