BIOSTATISTICIAN
The Medicines Control Agency, an Executive Agency of the Department of
Health, requires a suitably qualified and experienced Biostatistician to
contribute to the evaluation of statistical issues in medicines
regulation within the UK.
The primary purpose of the Agency is to safeguard public health by
controlling human medicines. You will play a major part in the review
of applications for new drug licences, concentrating upon the evidence
relating to efficacy and risk/benefit from the pivotal trials.
Assessment work at the MCA is undertaken by multi-disciplinary teams of
pharmacists, scientists and physicians and you will be expected to play
an integral role in this work. The advent of the European (CPMP) System
for pharmaceuticals makes this a particularly exciting time to join.
You should have several years' experience of statistical work in a
similar field and a degree or a postgraduate qualification in statistics
(or with a major statistical component). Communication skills and a
capacity for working closely with colleagues from other disciplines are
also essential.
The appointment will be made for a period of three years with the
possibility of extension. The starting salary will be around £35,000,
depending on experience, although more may be available for an
exceptional candidate.
For an information pack and application form, please ring Sylvia Brown
on 0171-273 0518 or write to the Personnel Unit, Room 1605, Market
Towers, 1 Nine Elms Lane, London SW8 5NQ quoting reference BIO/52/3/99
The closing date for all applications will be Friday 14 May 1999.
As an Equal Opportunity employer the Department welcomes applications
regardless of gender, race, disability or sexuality. We operate
flexible working patterns within a non-smoking environment.
