HCV is the second largest contributor to liver disease in the UK, with injecting drug use as the main risk factor among the estimated 200,000 people currently infected. Use of direct-acting antiviral HCV therapies, which combine high cure rates and short treatment duration with few side effects, has been substantially scaled-up in the UK to achieve the internationally set goal of eliminating HCV by 2030.

Research experience in Bayesian statistics, longitudinal modelling, including time series analysis, is essential as is experience in statistical programming and ability to produce high-quality academic writing. Experience with causal inference would be highly advantageous, but not essential. Good communication skills and an enthusiasm for collaborating with non-statistical scientists are also essential. The successful applicant will be supported in their career development with a range of formal courses and on-the-job training.

The Unit is situated on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the world's most vibrant centres of biomedical research, which includes the University of Cambridge's Clinical School, two major hospitals, the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, and the world headquarters of Astra Zeneca.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 31 July 2024 in the first instance.

The interview date for the role is: To be confirmed

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
