We are looking for enthusiastic communicators 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 and beyond. Up to two full- or part-time posts are available.
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 an MSc or higher in statistics or similar, and previous experience of providing statistical input in healthcare research, as well as a good understanding of clinical trial design in applied health research. You must be able to work as part of a team and to organise and prioritise your own work.
