CHAIR IN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL & SOCIAL STATISTICS  (JOB DETAILS)

The University of Manchester seeks applications for a newly-created
Chair in Epidemiological and Social Statistics. The post is a joint appointment to the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing a
nd the Faculty of Economics & Social Studies. The University is
seeking a candidate whose research interests, major research strengths, and experience are in areas of application of sophisticated sta
tistical methodology relevant to the community-based research of the
Medical School and the Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences and which cross the boundaries between the two. The successful can
didate will be based in the Biostatistics Group of the  School of
Epidemiology & Health Sciences and the Cathie Marsh Centre for Census and Survey Research.

The recent arrival of Graham Dunn as the new Professor of Biomedical
Statistics was the first of a series of major developments in biostatistics within the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing.
 The creation of a Chair in Epidemiological and Social Statistics
increases this momentum. It will allow a co-ordinated programme in this new area, and be extremely timely for the development of new
interdisciplinary initiatives in clinical research such as the
development of the genetics of complex conditions, the use of supplementary measures in exposure measurement problems in epidemiology, a
ttacking the complex interactions between social and biological risk
factors in the development of disease, and so on.

Within the Faculty of Economics and Social Studies, Professor Dale
and colleagues at Cathie Marsh Centre for Survey Research are working on substantive questions which include women's labour force pa
rticipation in relation to family formation, young people's patterns
of leaving home, returns to higher education. These give rise to difficult statistical issues - for example sample selection bias,
 endogeneity, unobserved heterogeneity, duration effects, non-random
missing data - all of which are issues on which the new Professor will be able to provide major input. Other work relates to spati
al differences and ways to disentangle area-level effects from
individual and household  effects. In all these areas there is scope not just to implement accepted solutions but to make methodological
 innovations and developments.

The appointee will be expected to develop a thriving programme of
methodological and interdisciplinary research in both the clinical and social science environments. In particular, he or she will be
 expected to act as a methodological catalyst in the promotion of
high-quality inter-disciplinary research work involving senior academic staff from both of the participating Faculties.

The new Professor will be expected to have the following qualities:

1. a very strong track record in the analysis of complex
epidemiological and genetic data, including analysis of genetic studies involving complex phenotypes, epidemiological studies with missing and
/or surrogate/auxiliary data, and multivariate survival data,

2. a very strong track record of methodological research in the
social sciences (areas such as complex survey methodology, including multi-phase sampling; event history analysis, multilevel modelling
, analysis of panel and other forms of longitudinal data; models for
residential mobility and migration, etc.),

3. demonstrable enthusiasm for and past record of successful
multi-disciplinary collaboration in the context of both the clinical and social sciences,

4. demonstrable ability to obtain Research Council, or equivalent,
funding in areas of both substantive and methodological research, and

5. the ability to communicate the findings of sophisticated
statistical research to applied statisticians and other academic staff through the use of high-quality written educational material (resear
ch papers, books and review articles) and of advanced methodology
workshops and training-courses ('master-classes').
