Statistician
School Of Medicine / MRC Epidemiology Resource Centre
£27,183 - £33,432
An opportunity now exists for a statistician to
join a friendly team at the Medical Research
Council Epidemiology Resource Centre (ERC) in
Southampton (under the directorship of Professor
Cyrus Cooper). The ERC aims to explore the
environmental causes, throughout life, of:
osteoporosis/sarcopenia; cardiovascular disease;
and diabetes mellitus; and to develop
population-based and individual preventative
strategies against these disorders. Linked to
the core work of the ERC are three programmes (1)
to examine the lifecourse determinants of
osteoporotic fracture and other bone and joint
diseases, (2) on maternal nutrition, fetal and
childhood growth, and programming of
cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in
South Asians, and (3) to inform the management of
occupational and environmental risks to
health. The ERC is associated with the
University of Southampton and uses their computing services.
You should possess an MSc in statistics or
equivalent postgraduate qualification. You will
be involved with the analysis of large and
complex datasets using appropriate statistical
techniques. Experience with Stata would be
desirable but not essential. You will generally
work on projects concerned with the bone and
joint programme and on occupational and
environmental hazards to health, but be expected
to help out elsewhere as and when necessary.
The post is full-time and fixed-term for three
years. Salary will be in the range of £27,183 -
£33,432 per annum dependent on qualifications and experience
