Professor John Danesh is the Unit's overall Director and Professor Simon Thompson is the Unit's Director of Research in Biostatistics.

Due to recent expansion an opportunity has arisen for a talented medical/applied statistician who is interested in joining the Unit to work on world-leading large-scale observational studies of cardiovascular disease and clinical trials of type 2 diabetes and abdominal aortic aneurysms. This position can be filled by an appropriate candidate at the Research Associate or Research Assistant level, depending on relevant qualifications and experience.

The post provides a unique opportunity to be actively involved in a number of applied collaborations, whilst the post-holder will also be encouraged to develop statistical methodology to help achieve the aims of the CEU research programme and take a leading role in writing methodological papers.

The post-holder will have: (1) relevant statistical qualifications (eg, a Masters or PhD in Medical/Applied statistics), (2) a sound understanding of statistical concepts, ideally in relation to epidemiology and clinical trials, (3) strong quantitative skills, (4) comprehensive experience of using Stata or R.
