One post in the Hub in Trials Methodology Research: Cambridge
Band 3 Senior Statistician (£35635 to £39423) 5 Year FTC or
Band 4 Statistician (£25622 to £28346) 5 Years FTC or 3 year CDF
The MRC Biostatistics Unit is one of Europe's leading biostatistics research
institutions. It has recently been awarded a major MRC grant to develop a
regional Hub in clinical trials methodology research. The Hub will:
* establish an internationally competitive research programme in
clinical trials methodology, with a focus on statistical issues;
* establish strong collaborations with relevant applied research
groups in Cambridge and the local region, including Cambridge Cancer Trials
Centre, and interact with existing programmes in the Unit
* establish an appropriate training and dissemination programme for
methodology in clinical trials.
* have statistical responsibility for a number of trials, but not
for the day-to-day conduct of trials or data management.
The grant is for five years, but with potential for longer term funding to
follow.
We now seek either a senior statistician (band 3) or a postdoctoral
statistician (band 4), depending on the attributes of the successful
applicant.
The Senior Statistician will identify, develop and maintain new Hub
collaborations by directly supporting trials work. There will also be the
lead responsibility for developing the Hub's training programme and for the
lead research role in trials methodology research. The Statistician will
support Hub collaborations by having statistical responsibility for a number
of trials. There will be the expectation to develop new statistical methods
and to apply them to trial design and analysis. A recently qualified PhD
will be offered a three year Career Development Fellowship.
