Statistical Services Unit (SSU), School of Mathematics & Statistics, The
University of Sheffield
We have an opportunity for a newly-qualified statistician to join the
SSU as a Statistical Consultant. Complete details of the post and how to
apply can be found at www.shef.ac.uk/jobs (search under current
vacancies for post reference UOS004964).
The SSU is a specialist advisory unit within the School of Mathematics
and Statistics that originated from the commercial activities that were
being undertaken within the academic environment. Formally established
in 1986, the SSU has over 25 years’ experience of providing a
comprehensive statistical consultancy service to a diverse range of
clients, spanning both the public and private sectors and, as such,
offers its consultants a challenging opportunity to gain a rare breadth
of experience in the practical application of statistics. We have
particular involvement in: analysis and reporting of clinical trials in
the pharmaceutical industry; auditing of performance measurements in the
rail industry; providing consultancy to the health service; and design,
analysis and reporting of surveys. However, our general portfolio
includes an extensive range of specialist services, which can in some
cases include working on-site with clients for extended periods.
The SSU employs a dedicated team of consultants who combine excellent
technical ability with wide-ranging professional and practical
experience. The experiences within the SSU provide an environment that
enhances the skills and ability of our staff, as well as their
flexibility to deal with a wide variety of situations and discuss
statistical issues at both a technical and non-technical level. Please
see our website at http://ssu.group.shef.ac.uk/index.html for more details.
The post holder will undertake commercial statistical consultancy and
training work across a complete range of the SSU’s contracts. A key
element of the role will be to provide data analysis and investigation,
reporting of results and statistical advice for a number of clients
alongside other members of the SSU. Excellent communication skills will
be vital to the work, as will a postgraduate qualification in statistics.
