Summary
NUFFIELD DEPARTMENT OF ORTHOPAEDICS, RHEUMATOLOGY AND MUSCULOSKELETAL SCIENCES (NDORMS)
OCTRU Senior Medical Statistician (174319)
Grade 8: Salary in the range of £45,585 - £54,395 p.a.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Medical Statistician based at the Oxford Clinical Trials Research Unit (OCTRU), co-located within the Centre for Statistics in Medicine in its host department of the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) based at the Botnar Research Centre, University of Oxford.
As a Senior Medical Statistician, you will take a lead role in the analysis of large complex data sets that have been generated as a result of funded non-commercial clinical trials. Additionally, you will support the statistical aspects of clinical trials to underpin grant applications and other relevant activities. Within the role, post holders can expect to participate in strategic planning with the Statistics Team within OCTRU, develop methodology, to supervise medical statisticians and to be involved in grant writing.
Additionally, the post holder will lead, or oversee as the senior statistician, the analysis of large and complex data sets that have been collected or are currently being collected by trials on the OCTRU portfolio https://www.ndorms.ox.ac.uk/octru/trials-portfolio; input into a range of clinical research on the statistical aspects of the work; and provide written statistical input into protocols and ethics committee submissions. You will also approve and/or prepare statistical documents such as statistical analysis plans (SAPs), the analysis and reports to oversight committee meetings, the final analysis and related statistical reports, final study reports and study publications, and contribute to the dissemination of research findings via peer reviewed publications and presentations at investigator meetings and national/international meetings. Statisticians within the OCTRU team are encouraged to participate in methodological work in addition to their core responsibilities.
You will have a postgraduate degree in medical statistics (or near to completion). Experience working as a medical statistician is required, as is the ability to work independently. You will have specialist knowledge in the analysis of complex and longitudinal data, and considerable experience working as a statistician, including conducting consultations, designing clinical research, contributing to grant applications, active running of research, analysing data and paper writing for peer-reviewed journals. You will also be fluent in key aspects of study design and analysis, and aware of the latest statistical techniques. Previous experience of working with less experienced statisticians and experience of working within an academic clinical trials unit are desirable.
This is a full-time fixed term appointment for 3 years in the first instance.
You will be based in the Botnar Research Centre. For this particular post a pattern of hybrid working (involving part office, part remote location) will be possible with the agreement of your line manager.
The closing date for this position is 12 noon on Monday 2 September 2024. Interviews are expected to be held on Tuesday 17 September 2024. You will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your online application.
