Medical Statistician

We are recruiting for a Medical Statistician





**About the Role**





Join one of the country’s leading groups working in infectious diseases





The Modernising Medical Microbiology (MMM) consortium at the University of
Oxford is amongst the country’s foremost groups working in infectious diseases
in the UK, aiming to improve diagnostics and fight antimicrobial resistance.
We undertake large-scale epidemiological studies of electronic health records
data and link this to data from pathogen sequencing, using a diverse range of
sequencing technologies.





We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic MSc or PhD graduate with a
background in mathematics, statistics or medical statistics to join our group,
who is interested in training “on-the-job” to build a successful career as a
medical statistician. Depending on the candidate’s interest and skills, for
applicants without a PhD, there would be an opportunity to register for a PhD
in future, depending on performance and further funding.





This role will include practical on-the-job training working within the
friendly multi-disciplinary group made up of around 30 scientists with
expertise in biostatistics, epidemiology, infectious diseases, microbiology,
bioinformatics, and molecular biology, providing opportunities for skills and
career development, both in terms of medical statistics and more broadly in
terms of research careers. There will be opportunities to attend seminars at
the University of Oxford to gain broader exposure to genetic research, and to
complete other training depending on individual needs and interests.





**About You**





The successful candidate will have an excellent academic record, having
achieved a first or upper second class degree in a numerate discipline (e.g.
mathematics or mathematics and statistics, computer science, biology with a
quantitative focus, or another quantitative subject), and having achieved or
being on track to achieve a PhD or Masters in mathematics, statistics or
medical statistics.





They should have an enthusiastic hard-working approach, be keen to continue
further formal study and to develop new skills. They should have good
communication skills, and the ability to prioritise and work to deadlines.
They should have good computer skills including MS Office and experience of
one or more statistical programming languages.





Candidates who do not fully meet the requirements for a Grade 7 post may be
appointed at Grade 6: £34,046 - £40,855 per annum
