We are a rapidly growing UK Clinical Research Collaboration registered Clinical Trials Unit (http://www.ukcrc-ctu.org.uk) based in the School of Medicine at the University of Nottingham. Our mission is to conduct top quality, high impact multicentre clinical trials across a range of health areas which will improve health outcomes. We have a broad, exciting and expanding portfolio of trials including studies evaluating pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, medical devices, and complex interventions. In addition, we conduct methodological work to improve the efficiency and quality of trial design, conduct, analysis and reporting. We are therefore looking to expand our fabulous team of Medical Statisticians.

Role Overview

The successful candidate will contribute to trial design, conduct, analysis and dissemination as a valued member of multidisciplinary trial teams. They will also be given the opportunity to develop (or continue to develop) research interests, contribute to trials methodology research within NCTU, and to contribute to the development and delivery of 'research methods' training courses offered by the unit. Please visit NCTU for further details.

The post is available at two levels:

1. Level 4: Suitable for statisticians with some experience in the design, set up, analyses and reporting of randomised controlled trials.

• 30 days annual leave
• All bank holidays

• Discounted membership to the state-of-the-art sports facilities

Working Hours

This is preferably a full-time post (36.25 hours per week). However, applications are invited from candidates wishing to work part-time (minimum of 29 hours per week). The post is offered on a fixed-term contract for an initial period of 24 months, with an expectation, given the intention to grow capacity, that this would be extended. The role can be fully office-based or open to a hybrid working model with a blended approach of home and office working (typically a minimum of 2 to 3 days pro rata per week on campus).
