Dear All, We invite applications for a project which is part of a competition funded by the Institute of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Aberdeen. The project involves the individual participant data meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials comparing pregnancy rates following fresh versus frozen embryo transfer in in-vitro fertilisation treatment. Please follow the link for further details: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/individual-participant-data-meta-analysis-of-randomised-controlled-trials-comparing-elective-freezing-of-embryos-followed-by-thawed-frozen-embryo-transfer-versus-fresh-embryo-transfer-in-in-vitro-fertilisation/?p106258 You will join a collaborative team in the University of Aberdeen who are known in the world of fertility research for their expertise in observational and RCT studies. There will be opportunities to develop collaborations with researchers and clinicians from the various RCT centres. Patient representatives and the public have been integral in the design and conduct for the primary trials and will continue to support this project. As this is of both national and international importance, the results will be disseminated by individualized dissemination strategies for every group of stakeholders (patients, policy-makers, funders, clinicians and academics) across the globe. This project requires a numerically highly skilled student, preferably with a medical statistics qualification, who is interested in the meta-analysis of individual participant data and is motivated to perform high-quality research which will inform IVF policy worldwide. The deadline for submission of your application to the competition is Friday 22nd March 2019. Applicants may contact Dr David McLernon at [log in to unmask] or Dr Abha Maheshwari at [log in to unmask] to discuss the project in advance of submitting an application.
