The Nuffield Centre for International Health and Development, a group within the Leeds Institute for Health Sciences at the University of Leeds, is a leader in the field of health services and systems research in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). The Nuffield Centre holds several major research grants and leads a DFID-funded research programme consortium that focuses on developing and assessing complex health service delivery interventions.
The Clinical Trials Research Unit (CTRU), a group within the Leeds Institute of Clinical Trials Research at the University of Leeds, is a leader in the field of clinical trials and was one of the first 26 clinical trials units across the UK to be awarded full registration status by the UK Clinical Research Collaboration. CTRU conducts national and international randomised clinical trials in a variety of clinical fields. CTRU has a strong methodological portfolio associated with clinical trial research.
We wish to expand the capacity of the Nuffield Centre to evaluate strategies for health services delivery in LMICs, including design and implementation of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). We are looking for talented and enthusiastic individuals, keen to work jointly with a well-established group of specialists in health in LMICs and a well-established group of statisticians, supporting a new collaboration between the Nuffield Centre and CTRU to work on trials of complex interventions in LMICs. You will be involved in a wide range of statistical activities, including preparing grant applications, and design, conduct and analysis of clinical trials. You will work on internationally important studies designed to answer questions of real relevance to clinicians and patients, ultimately improving disease outcomes and patient care.
This post offers excellent opportunities for career development within well-established health and statistical teams.
With a postgraduate qualification with a major statistical component, you will have excellent interpersonal, communication and time management skills and be able to work well within a multidisciplinary team.
