Funding is available for up to three new posts. One of these may be at the Senior Research Associate level, depending on the skills and experience of the applicant. Successful applicants are expected to have strong quantitative skills and a good understanding of epidemiological and/or medical statistic concepts. However, we seek applications from individuals with different experience, knowledge and skills that may complement each other. For appointment at the Senior Research Associate level candidates are expected to have a strong research background evidenced by peer reviewed publications and research funding from external funding bodies.
