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 solutions that enhance our core-funded research initiatives. You will become part of a specialized team of statisticians and data scientists within a rapidly expanding community of quantitative scientists at Rothamsted Research, thriving in a dynamic interdisciplinary research setting.

Your initial focus will be on statistical research challenges within two of our Institute Strategic Grant Programmes (ISPGs) at Rothamsted Research. Current research challenges include:

  • Developing methods for model integration and creating Bayesian belief networks based on elicitation techniques.
  • Designing and analyzing multi-omics studies, including the application of multivariate analysis techniques.

This foundational research will serve as a springboard for you to expand your statistical expertise and tackle further inquiries across the institute's research agenda, particularly emphasizing livestock and grazing research.

Key Qualifications

  • Proven experience in applying statistical and data science methodologies to resolve real-world issues in agricultural and environmental research.
  • A comprehensive understanding of traditional statistical techniques, ideally encompassing the design and analysis of experiments, various statistical modeling methods, and multivariate analysis.
  • Familiarity with modern statistical data science techniques, including AI and 'big data' methodologies.
  • Solid computing skills with proficiency in one or more statistical software packages/environments, such as Genstat, R, or Python.
  • A logical mindset and practical approach to problem-solving and model development.

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 programs. While your primary base will be at our Harpenden campus, occasional visits to support specific research projects may be necessary.

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