Requirements:
Qualifications include: (1) an earned doctoral degree in epidemiology; (2) a commitment to excellence in teaching and advising graduate students; (3) a record of or strong potential for both independent and collaborative research; and (4) excellent written and oral communications skills. Review of applicants will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Candidates should e-mail a letter describing their qualifications and interests along with their curriculum vitae and contact information for three professional references to: Raul Caetano, M.D., Ph.D., Chair, Dallas Faculty Search Committee, Dallas Regional Campus, The University of Texas School of Public Health, 6011 Harry Hines Boulevard, V8.112, Dallas TX 75390, Fax: 214-648-1081, email: Raul.Caetano@uth.tmc.edu

University of Cambridge
£21,682-£24,403 or £25,134-£32,796

Limit of tenure applies*

Applications are invited for a full-time Medical Statistician in the University of Cambridge's Department of Public Health and Primary Care. This post is a two-year fixed term contract and is a joint appointment with the GP & PCRU and CAMS. Hours will be split 50/50 between GP & PCRU and CAMS.
The main aim of the appointment is to provide support in the design and analysis of medical research projects. Applicants must possess the ability and desire to work in a multi-disciplinary team and have excellent communication skills to explain statistical concepts clearly to clinicians and researchers. Applicants should have, or shortly expect to obtain, a higher degree in statistics (such as medical or applied) and, preferably have some experience in consulting, collaborating or teaching. The successful candidate will receive support and on-the-job training, as a member of an experienced and professional team.

CAMS (http://www.phpc.cam.ac.uk/cams/index.htm.) was established in 1996 in response to the increasingly recognised need for high quality statistics within medical research, and comprises a Director, Dr Chris Palmer, two full-time statisticians and one part-time statistician in addition to the current vacancy. Within CAMS, the main duties will be to act as statistical consultant and collaborator to clinical researchers working in and around Cambridge, meaning that there is an attractive variety of people, projects, disease areas and data sets to be encountered. Both posts will involve developing or participating in short course teaching on statistical issues to audiences from primary care and other health-related backgrounds. CAMS statisticians are involved in regular statistical reviewing of papers submitted to The Lancet and occasional reviewing for other journals such as the British Journal of General Practice, and the British Medical Journal.

GP & PCRU (http://www.medschl.cam.ac.uk/gppcru/) designs and conducts programmes of research that are predominantly multi-disciplinary, involving researchers in primary care, behavioural science, epidemiology and statistics. Research projects include clinical trials of intervention programmes to change physical activity and other lifestyle behaviours in the prevention and treatment of Type 2 diabetes, a trial of the use of a hand-held scanner by GPs to assess suspicious moles, the development of computer-generated advice tools for smoking cessation, and observational studies within the palliative care and education programmes. The post will include the independent analyses of projects, and consulting on project design at all stages with Unit personnel, who vary in research experience.

The post offers opportunities for personal development in consulting, collaborating, critical appraisal, teaching and statistical methodology. The MRC Biostatistics Unit offers statistics seminars and workshops, and is housed together with CAMS and GP & PCRU in the Institute of Public Health (http://www.iph.cam.ac.uk/reception/index.html), located adjacent to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.

The appointment will be at either Research Assistant or Research Associate level, depending on qualifications and experience.
For informal enquiries about the post, please contact Dr Toby Prevost via atp14@medschl.cam.ac.uk or 01223 330593.
For a copy of the further particulars, including how to apply, please contact: Dr Toby Prevost atp14@medschl.cam.ac.uk or 01223 330593 GP & PCRU, Department of Public Health and Primary Care, Institute of Public Health, University Forvie Site, Cambridge CB2 0SR U.K.

Within CAMS, the main duties will be to act as statistical consultant and collaborator to clinical researchers working in and around Cambridge, meaning that there is an attractive variety of people, projects, disease areas and data sets to be encountered. Both posts will involve developing or participating in short course teaching on statistical issues to audiences from primary care and other health-related backgrounds. CAMS statisticians are involved in regular statistical reviewing of papers submitted to The Lancet and occasional reviewing for other journals such as the British Journal of General Practice, and the British Medical Journal.

GP & PCRU (http://www.medschl.cam.ac.uk/gppcru/) designs and conducts programmes of research that are predominantly multi-disciplinary, involving researchers in primary care, behavioural science, epidemiology and statistics. Research projects include clinical trials of intervention programmes to change physical activity and other lifestyle behaviours in the prevention and treatment of Type 2 diabetes, a trial of the use of a hand-held scanner by GPs to assess suspicious moles, the development of computer-generated advice tools for smoking cessation, and observational studies within the palliative care and education programmes. The post will include the independent analyses of projects, and consulting on project design at all stages with Unit personnel, who vary in research experience.

The post offers opportunities for personal development in consulting, collaborating, critical appraisal, teaching and statistical methodology. The MRC Biostatistics Unit offers statistics seminars and workshops, and is housed together with CAMS and GP & PCRU in the Institute of Public Health (http://www.iph.cam.ac.uk/reception/index.html), located adjacent to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge.


The appointment will be at either Research Assistant or Research Associate level, depending on qualifications and experience.
