Statistician

Oxford Population Health (Nuffield Department of Population Health) contains
world-renowned population health research groups and provides an excellent
environment for multi-disciplinary research and teaching.





We are seeking to recruit a medical statistician with a good programming
background and an interest in methodological issues to work within a Cancer
Research UK funded research programme called “Benefits and Risks of Cancer
Treatments''. The main focus of the programme is to obtain quantitative
information regarding long term outcomes in people diagnosed with cancer. The
research uses large datasets from routine data sources to better understand
the epidemiology and optimal treatment of a number of different cancers,
including Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, pre-invasive and invasive
breast cancer, and advanced cancers.





The successful candidate will work as part of a team that includes
statisticians, epidemiologists, oncologists, a surgeon, a radiotherapy
physicist and DPhil students.





To be considered you will hold a degree at Masters level or equivalent, with
substantial numerical content, eg mathematics, statistics, computer science,
or a physical science. Experience and practical success in statistical
analysis of medical data and programming skills in a statistical language,
including Stata or R/S-plus, SAS are essential for this post. Relevant
experience in a statistical programming environment and processing and linking
very large datasets would be desirable.





The post is full-time (although part-time is considered) and fixed term for
two years. The closing date for applications is noon on Friday, 22 March 2024
