You will prepare analytical packages to run a number of pre-specified analyses, contribute to wider project planning, including ideas for new research projects and gather, analyse, and present scientific data from a variety of sources.

You will hold a relevant BA or MSc degree in Mathematics, Engineering, or a related field. Knowledge of medical statistics and experience analysing large datasets, experience in biostatistics and/or health data sciences and experience in the programming of R packages are essential. Experience in propensity scores, overlap weighting, inverse probability weighting and/or similar methods, expertise in pharmaco or vaccine epidemiology and experience of working with electronic medical records/routinely collected data are desirable.

This is a full-time fixed-term appointment for 2 years.

The closing date for this position is 12 noon on 10 May 2024. You will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your online application.
