Investigator Statistician - Fixed Term until 31st December 2017
Salary Range: £26,545 - £32,003 per annum
MRC Biostatistics unit, Cambridge
An exciting opportunity has arisen to work on a Cancer Research UK (CRUK) funded grant in the MRC Biostatistics unit (MRC BSU).
The MRC BSU is one of Europe's leading biostatistics research institutions. Working with Dr James Wason within the 'Design and Analysis of Randomised Trials' research theme in the MRC BSU, you will develop methodology relevant to the CRUK funded grant "Improving the power of phase II oncology trials through the use of continuous tumour measurements". In addition to methodology development, you will publish papers in high quality peer-reviewed journals, disseminate your work at statistical and clinical conferences, and make open-source software available that implements the methodology you develop. There will be opportunities and funding to work with grant co-investigators at the University of Birmingham on this, and related, methodology.
You will have, or be about to obtain, a PhD in statistics or related subject, and statistical computing experience, e.g. Programming in R or Stata. Some knowledge/experience of methodology for clinical trials or survival analysis would be desirable but not essential. You must have good communication skills and show potential to publish high quality scientific papers.
This position is available starting November 2014, but this start date can be postponed for the right candidate.
The MRC Biostatistics Unit aims to advance medical science by the development, application and dissemination of statistical methods. It is one of Europe's leading biostatistics research institutions and includes many internationally renowned statisticians. It provides a privileged environment for statistical research.
