Applications are invited for two new Statistician posts:
2 Year Fixed Term Ref: EPID08/392
A 2 year post to provide general statistical support within the
Epidemiology Unit. The major focus of this work will be the
planning and implementation of statistical analysis for specific
ongoing epidemiological studies (e.g. the InterAct project) in
collaboration with scientists within the unit and from other
institutions across Europe.
3 Year Fixed Term Ref: EPID08/391
A 3 year post to provide statistical expertise to a
multidisciplinary programme of research focusing on the
translation of epidemiological evidence into prevention of
Type 2 diabetes and its complications. This will include use of
data from existing clinical trials and cohort studies to assess
cost-effectiveness of approaches to the early detection and
treatment of diabetes, and modelling work in collaboration with
health economists and health psychologists based in Cambridge.
Level of appointment for both posts will depend upon
qualifications and experience. You should have a Masters
degree in statistics or a related subject. To be considered for
Band 4, you should have some experience as a statistician
(gained either through further academic study or practically
in a working environment).
You should have the skills to be able to work independently,
using a variety of statistical analysis methods, and be able to
communicate and interpret statistical information for a
non-statistical audience.
The starting salary is in the region of £25,368 - £31,048 per
annum for Band 4 and £19,430 - £26,555 per annum for
