This post is based in the UKCRC-registered Pragmatic Clinical Trials Unit. The Unit is located in the Centre for Primary Care and Public Health and is also linked with the Centre for Psychiatry, and supports high quality clinical trials and pilot studies that fit with the research strategies of these two Centres. The Unit also has links with Research Design Service London, a free advice service for researchers in the region who are seeking public funding for research in health and social care. You will be joining a team of 8 statisticians currently working within the Centre for Primary Care and Public Health.
This purpose of this post is to contribute to the work of the Pragmatic Clinical Trials Unit and Research Design Service London in leading, supporting and encouraging high quality research. The post will involve advising on research design, contributing to trial protocols, participating in trial steering committees, developing statistical analysis plans, conducting statistical analyses, and liaising with other researchers and health professionals within and outside the Centre for Primary Care and Public Health. In addition the post-holder will contribute to a small amount of teaching. There is also the possibility of developing some methodological work if appropriate. You will possess a higher degree in statistics or equivalent; have some experience of medical research and a good knowledge of clinical trial design and analysis. You will need to be able to write reports and papers, and to work to required deadlines. You will also be a strong and enthusiastic communicator about the value of sound statistical approaches.
