INSTITUTE OF OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE, EDINBURGH
Research Scientist, Statistics and Toxicology Section
Salary ?19,000 to ?36,000
We are seeking to appoint a Research Scientist to join the Statistics and
Toxicology Section in our Research Division to work on a variety of research and
review projects undertaken by the team. This will be a permanent post based in
our Edinburgh office. The post holder will provide effective application of
statistical ideas to help give valid answers to substantive scientific
questions, within practical constraints of time and budget.
This post will suit someone with at least a good first degree in statistics or
biometrics, with some relevant experience of multi-disciplinary research, and
with a willingness to learn.
The person appointed will have both opportunity and encouragement to do
interesting, useful research; to develop as an applied statistician and as a
project team member; and to publish in the scientific literature. It is likely
that our research programme, and our close links with several universities, will
give suitable opportunities to staff who wish to study for a higher degree, e.g.
PhD; we encourage this.
The post requires familiarity with statistical ideas (including survey
methodology) and methods (at least some of: regression; ANOVA; generalised
linear models; survival analysis); and the ability to implement them, via
standard packages (e.g. Stata, R, Minitab); and an understanding of the issues
involved in data recording, control and organisation.
