Senior Medical Statistician (117651)
Grade 8: £38,511 – £45,954 p.a.
We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Medical Statistician at the Centre for Statistics in Medicine, Botnar Research Centre, Oxford. This is an exciting opportunity to join a leading centre for collaborative statistical support in clinical research.
You will take on a leading role in statistical collaboration and consultancy with clinical researchers as well as key responsibilities to support the Centre’s development. Duties include providing expert advice on statistical aspects of clinical research and study design, assisting in the development of grants proposals and identifying solutions to problems arising during execution and analysis of studies. You will cost projects, negotiate changes and complete projects within budget, initiate and participate in methodological research, and undertake teaching duties relating to medical statistics.
You will have a postgraduate degree in statistics with a substantial relation to medical statistics (or equivalent experience), good project management skills and considerable experience of working as a statistician, including design of clinical or laboratory research and paper writing for peer-reviewed publication. The ability to grasp clinical research problems and identify hypotheses to be tested, good communication skills and the ability to explain complex statistical issues to non-statisticians are essential. Experience of working in a UKCRC registered clinical trials unit and of working with junior statisticians is desirable.
This is a full-time fixed term appointment for 2 years in the first instance.
A lower grade offer may be made (Grade 7: £30,434 - £37,394 p.a.) with commensurate reduction in responsibilities if a suitable candidate cannot be found for the Grade 8 position.
The closing date for this position is 12 noon on Thursday 2 April 2015. You must upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your online application.
