CRUK Senior Research Associate in Statistical Methodology (118487)
Grade 8: £38,511 – £45,954 p.a.
We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Research Associate in Statistical Methodology 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 funded by Cancer Research UK.
You will take a leading role in a continuing programme of methodological studies relating to the design, analysis and reporting of clinical research, with particular emphasis on studies of prognosis. There will also be opportunities to provide statistical support to related clinical studies. You will help to develop new clinical collaborations and lead on or participate in applications for funding statistical support for these projects.
You will have an MSc in statistics and considerable experience in medical statistics. You must have mathematical statistics skills (e.g. ability to prove statistical results through simulation and mathematical proof), expertise in statistical analysis packages (e.g. R, Stata or SAS software) and computer programing skills. The ability to plan, carry out and write up results for statistical analyses relevant to medical research and to contribute to peer-reviewed publications is essential, as is a publication record as a medical statistician contributing to clinical research. Experience of studies in prognosis or prediction, preparation of statistical sections of research and ethics applications and a higher qualification (PhD) in a relevant area would be desirable.
This is a full time fixed-term appointment for 3 years in the first instance.
A lower grade may be offered (Grade 7: £30,434 - £37,394 p.a.) with the job title of CRUK Research Associate in Statistical Methodology and 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 Friday 19 June 2015. You must upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your online application.
