Biomedical Statistician
Department of Cardiovascular Sciences
College of Life Sciences
University of Leicester
Salary Grade 7 £33,518 to £38,833 per annum
We are looking for a statistician to join an established team working on a world-leading project. This study will investigate the genetic, demographic, environmental and life-style factors that affect telomere length and establish the relationship between telomere length and cardiovascular and other age-related diseases.
Telomeres are structures at the ends of chromosomes and their length is a marker of biological ageing. In previous studies (see papers by Samani NJ and Codd V), we have shown a link between telomere length and risk of heart and other diseases. Building on this work we have been awarded a major grant by the MRC/BBSRC/BHF to measure the average telomere length of all 500,000 participants in UK Biobank (http://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/).
You will be responsible for many aspects of the statistical analysis for the project. You will be joining an established statistical team and group that is internationally-recognised for its research in cardiovascular genetics and telomere science. You will work closely with other members of the research team, as well as national and international collaborators.
The post provides an excellent opportunity for an ambitious statistician to develop a strong career in medical statistics on a project that will inform and improve healthcare.
This is a full-time fixed term role for two years.
