London, Greater London, United Kingdom Rothamsted Research Full time

Position Overview

Are you an experienced statistician eager to address the pressing challenges in sustainable agriculture? We are looking for a talented statistician to devise research strategies that enhance our core-funded research initiatives. You will become part of a specialized team of statisticians and data scientists, embedded within a rapidly expanding community of quantitative researchers at Rothamsted Research, operating in a vibrant interdisciplinary research setting.

Your initial focus will be on statistical research challenges within two of the Institute's Strategic Grant Programmes (ISPGs) at Rothamsted Research, specifically in the areas of Growing Health and Green Engineering. Current research challenges include:

  • developing methods for model integration and constructing Bayesian belief networks through elicitation techniques,
  • designing and analyzing multi-omics studies, with an emphasis on multivariate analysis methodologies.

This foundational research will serve as a platform for you to expand your statistical expertise, enabling you to tackle additional inquiries across the institute's research agenda, particularly in livestock and grazing research at our North Wyke campus.

The ideal candidate will possess:

  • proven experience in applying statistical and data science techniques to resolve practical issues in agricultural and environmental research,
  • a comprehensive understanding of traditional statistical methodologies, including experimental design and analysis, various statistical modeling techniques, and multivariate analysis,
  • familiarity with modern statistical data science approaches relevant to biology, including AI and 'big data' techniques,
  • strong computing skills with proficiency in one or more statistical software environments, such as Genstat, R, or Python,
  • a logical mindset and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving and model development.

As part of your role, you will also contribute to other activities within the Statistics and Data Science Section, including providing consultancy to PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers, as well as delivering our statistical training program. While your primary location will be at our Harpenden campus, occasional visits to the North Wyke campus in Devon may be necessary to support specific research projects.

If you are a dedicated and skilled applied statistician eager to engage in innovative research and groundbreaking discoveries, we welcome you to join our team. Help us maximize our investments in data collection and make a significant impact on sustainable agriculture.
