Senior Statistician

THIS IS A READVERTISEMENT – PREVIOUS APPLICANTS NEED NOT APPLY 

Applications are invited for a Senior Statistician to join the Medical Statistics group, with a combination of research and teaching responsibilities. 

The successful applicant will conduct research activities with a variety of research groups (e.g. cancer, diagnostics, hypertension, health behaviours, infectious disease and others) in the Nuffield Department of Primary Health Care Sciences, and take a senior role in postgraduate and other teaching.  Research responsibilities will include supporting and leading data analysis, seeking research funding, and providing specialist expertise in medical statistics to colleagues. Teaching responsibilities will include creation and delivery of classes for MSc and doctoral students, module co-ordination and marking, and supervising graduate students; see https://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/about/msc-in-ebhc-medical-statistics for more information about the areas of medical statistics on our syllabus. 

You will hold a doctoral degree (e.g., PhD) and have a strong publication record as a statistician (or similar) in medical research. You should be prepared to take a senior role as described in the job description. Candidates unsure if they are qualified for the senior role are invited to apply; there is flexibility to make an initial appointment at a more junior level, if no suitable senior applicant is found. For more details, please see the job description below. 

You will be based in the Radcliffe Primary Care Building in Oxford as your normal place of work, although some degree of remote working can be negotiated. A full-time post is available, but we have flexibility to offer a part-time post if requested by the successful candidate. 

The position is funded for three years in the first instance.
