The role

We are seeking a talented medical statistician/data scientist with a strong background in programming and statistical modelling of longitudinal cohort data and statistical analysis (e.g. in Stata, R, or SAS).

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated researcher in epidemiology/ data science/ statistics/ public health with a strong background in quantitative methods/ statistical analysis and programming.

This post will involve working on National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Policy Research Unit, and Fuse, Centre for Translational Research in Public Health projects related to inequalities in mental health and related health outcomes. The focus will be on using routine health and care data (such as the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) and hospital data) for public health policy and inequalities research.

This is an opportunity for an experienced researcher to apply and grow their quantitative skills applied to public health and health inequalities. We are particularly keen to recruit someone who can lead and support quantitative analyses, peer-reviewed publications, and other forms of dissemination, including presenting to policy makers, and practitioners. The research will be responsive to local and national public health policy priorities. Therefore, the ability to apply the right data and quantitative methods will be essential. Contributing to public & patient involvement and engagement (PPIE), and student supervision will be encouraged.

Experience and competence in using R or Stata or SAS is essential, along with excellent written and verbal communication skills and a PhD. The ability to handle, and analyse large, complex routine healthcare data, applying appropriate statistical methods will be essential. The role will involve activities, such as: data approval and acquisition, data preparation, programming, statistical/epidemiological analysis, and dissemination.

There will be opportunities to engage with stakeholders in policy organisations, local authorities and voluntary sector, through Fuse: Centre for Translational Public Health Research in North East England. The post will also benefit from collaborating with the Biostatistics Research Group in our Institute. The role and research environment are highly suited to career development opportunities.

You will have experience of research (Research Associate), and/or have initiated and taken responsibility for research projects acting as the Principal Investigator or as part of programme leadership (Senior Research Associate), in the field of public health, epidemiology, statistics or health services research and have experience publishing high-quality peer-reviewed articles.

You will work closely with the programme leadership team (Professor Sheena Ramsay, Emma Adams, and Professor Eileen Kaner), other team members, and contribute to the management of the wider programme of work and support the planning and coordination of activities.
