About the Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic communicator of sound statistical approaches to join a flourishing Clinical Trials Unit supporting high quality clinical trials and other research studies in primary care, psychiatry, women's health, surgery, orthopaedics and beyond.
The Pragmatic Clinical Trials Unit (PCTU) is a UKCRC-registered Clinical Trials Unit with particular expertise in pragmatic trials - clinical trials of interventions as they would be delivered in practice. You will be joining a team of statisticians and health economists currently working within the unit on a wide variety of trials, systematic reviews and observational studies at different stages of their development and completion. The unit also conducts methodological research, and has an international reputation for its work on cluster-randomised trials and trials of complex interventions.
The post will involve contributing to trial protocols, developing statistical analysis plans, conducting statistical analyses, and liaising with other researchers and health professionals. In addition, the post-holder will be expected to do a small amount of teaching.
About You
You should have a PhD or MSc in statistics, epidemiology or closely related field, or equivalent professional experience. Experience in providing statistical input in research or healthcare, as well as detailed and up-to-date knowledge of clinical trial designs in applied health research. You must be able to work as part of a team and to organise and prioritise your own work. Good understanding of current regulatory framework in relation to clinical trials would be an advantage.
Informal enquiries should be addressed to Dr. Rachel Phillips at rachel.phillips@qmul.ac.uk
