REF: B348
The Cancer Research UK Clinical Trials and Statistics Unit at The ICR (ICR-CTSU), one of the world’s leading cancer research centres, is looking for a motivated individual to join its team.
Medical Statistician
Starting salary: £30,859-£37,476, potential for starting salary up to £40,078 for exceptional candidate.
• Are you motivated by the scientific and biological rationale behind clinical trials in cancer?
• Are you looking to develop your statistical career within an academic research environment?
We have created a new position within the ICR-CTSU for a statistician who will focus on the design and analysis of biomarker directed randomised clinical trials and translational research studies associated with the ICR-CTSU’s trials portfolio. We seek a talented, dynamic and resourceful individual who will play a key role in the development of new translational research projects and associated methodology.
The importance of translational research in clinical trials is now widely recognised. This ‘bench to bedside’ science aim is to identify mechanisms of response and resistance to therapies and thereby allow a tailored approach to treatment, and also identify new targets for intervention. Applying and developing appropriate statistical methodologies to facilitate novel trial designs and robust analysis of data arising from tissue sample collections associated with large scale clinical trials is now a key challenge.
The successful applicant will join a team of statisticians and will work with ICR-CTSU staff and expert colleagues to develop a research program in the statistical aspects of translational/biomarker oncology. Candidates for this post should have a background in the analysis of large and complex clinical trial and/or translational or biomarker datasets plus excellent communication and organisational skills. Applicants should hold a post-graduate degree or first degree. For applicants looking to be appointed to the more senior grade the ability to lead and develop a research program is required.
Appointment will be on a fixed term contract to 30 September 2013 in the first instance and may be renewable depending on funding. This position is funded by Cancer Research UK.
