Dear all,
Two exciting biomarker statistician jobs at our CRUK Institute - posting on behalf of Professor Caroline Dive.
====
Postdoctoral Scientist - Biomarker Statisticians
Based in the Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology Group, Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, Manchester Cancer Research Centre
Salary in the range of £28,500 - £38,000 dependent upon qualifications and experience
* Job Ref: MI/14/62
* Duration of post: until October 2017
The Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute (www.cruk.manchester.ac.uk<http://www.cruk.manchester.ac.uk><http://www.cruk.manchester.ac.uk><http://www.cruk.manchester.ac.uk/>), an Institute of The University of Manchester (www.manchester.ac.uk<http://www.manchester.ac.uk><http://www.manchester.ac.uk><http://www.manchester.ac.uk>), is a world-leading centre of excellence in cancer research within the Manchester Cancer Research Centre (www.mcrc.manchester.ac.uk<http://www.mcrc.manchester.ac.uk><http://www.mcrc.manchester.ac.uk><http://www.mcrc.manchester.ac.uk>).
The Institute is core funded by Cancer Research UK (www.cancerresearchuk.org<http://www.cancerresearchuk.org><http://www.cancerresearchuk.org><http://www.cancerresearchuk.org>), the largest independent cancer research organisation in the world. We are situated adjacent to The Christie NHS Foundation Trust (www.christie.nhs.uk<http://www.christie.nhs.uk><http://www.christie.nhs.uk><http://www.christie.nhs.uk>), one of the largest cancer treatment centres in Europe. These factors combine to provide an exceptional environment in which to pursue basic, translational and clinical research programmes in cancer.
The overall goal of the Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology Group (CEP) in the CRUK Manchester Institute led by Professor Caroline Dive is to develop, validate and implement biomarkers that facilitate the optimisation of cancer patient treatment - personalised medicine. In this regard, CEP is an acknowledged world leader in the study of minimally invasive biomarkers suitable for patient monitoring. Our biomarker research is conducted in partnership with clinical colleagues and statistics experts across the Centre; advanced biomarker statistics is critical to the biomarker agenda.
An exciting opportunity now presents for two postdoctoral biostatisticians who will be based in CEP, adjacent to The Christie NHS Foundation Trust and funded by the Manchester Cancer Research Centre for 3 years in the first instance. These posts will be associated with the Centre for Biostatistics within the Institute of Population Health at The University of Manchester. The successful candidates will be involved in biomarker driven clinical trial design, the development of statistical methods tailored to biomarker analysis (baseline and longitudinal data) and the analysis of resultant biomarker data with a view to optimising patient treatment. Key skills of the post holders will be excellence in biostatistics (preferably applied to clinical trials) and good communication skills. Experience of multidisciplinary team work will confer an advantage and a working knowledge of bioinformatics would be beneficial.
The successful applicant should have an undergraduate and/or Masters Degree in Mathematics, Statistics or degree with strong mathematical/statistical element along with a PhD in Statistics or related fields.
