Applications are invited for the post of Research Assistant in Statistics in the School of Oral and Dental Sciences at the University of Bristol. The appointee will be based in the Bristol Nutrition Biomedical Research Unit (BRU) which is led by Andy Ness (Chair in Epidemiology). The BRU opened in April 2012 and has the overall aim of translating knowledge derived from work on causal associations in nutrition, drawn from population and clinical studies, to develop interventions to improve the health of people with conditions related to (or compromised by) poor or sub-optimal nutrition.
You should have some experience in medical statistics, a good first degree, and an MSc in medical statistics or a related discipline or equivalent research experience.

You will also be encouraged to develop your own research interests.
Although your main responsibility will be research, you may also contribute to the School’s undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programmes. You will also be expected to help provide statistical advice and support to colleagues in the BRU and in the School of Oral and Dental Sciences.
