Research Fellow - Statistics and Data Modelling College of Health Wellbeing&Life Science Academic Grade 7 - £39,906 - £44,746 per annum, depending on experience This is an exciting opportunity to join a cancer research unit - - with a real pedigree in clinical research involving NHS cancer patients. Due to our continued success, we are seeking to expand our team. You’ll join a health services research team with an excellent track record of winning multimillion pound NIHR grants, in addition to major strategic commercial partnerships with both national and international organisations (Nuffield Health and Boston Scientific Corp). You will primarily carry out bespoke quantitative data analysis of patient level and programme level data taken from Nuffield Health’s new national ‘Cancer Activity Programme’ service. Nuffield Health are the UKs largest healthcare charity and you will work closely with their dedicated research and analysis team. You will need an excellent understanding of the differential approaches to assessing the effectiveness of new cancer services. You will design statistical analysis plans and undertake advanced statistical modelling in R to model process and health outcomes, as well as analysing data around intervention fidelity and serious adverse events. You’ll use this data, not only to deliver on our contracted project KPIs and GANTT chart milestones, but will also support the writing of new large grant bids that require data modelling in the application process. You will support senior and junior researchers and support our national and international network and we expect that you will contribute to our unit’s already excellent reputation. The team The STAMINA research team has been successfully undertaking large multi-centre clinical trials of complex behavioural interventions in NHS cancer populations for over a decade. We are experts in clinical trial performance, intervention design, development, and evaluation. We have a mix of clinical and non-clinical staff and take a whole-team approach to project support. This has been a key feature of our success. We proactively look to develop talented researchers from within our unit, offering support and mentoring to talented and ambitious individuals who want to work hard and gain the trust of the team. We offer a diverse range of benefits and opportunities to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career in a supportive environment. The University currently enrols eligible academic staff into the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS), a defined-benefit pension scheme. Find out more about the TPS. Like many universities, we are facing well‑documented financial challenges and are entering a period of negotiation with our recognised Trade Unions, including consideration of pension affordability for modern universities. We remain committed to providing our staff with a competitive reward and benefit offer.
