Applications are invited for a Senior Computational Statistician within the Hay group located at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, University of Oxford.
We are expanding our team working on the Atlas of Baseline Risk Assessment for Infectious Diseases and this is one of two computational statistician posts that we are currently advertising. We are using data from a wide range of sources to model spatial variation in under five-year old mortality, the syndromes causing these patterns of mortality (e.g. severe diarrhoea and acute respiratory illness), and the pathogens causing these syndromes. You will lead a programme of research to develop geostatistical models that characterise spatial variation in mortality and three key disease syndromes.
You will have a PhD in computer science, statistics, maths or another relevant subject, and postdoctoral experience of leading a programme of research. You will have demonstrable competence in at least one programming language and a good knowledge of probability theory/statistics. Experience of spatial modelling and/or infectious disease epidemiology would be highly desirable.
Applications will also be considered for appointment at the appropriate salary range of Grade 7: £30,434 – £37,394 p.a., with a suitable adjustment to duties and responsibilities.
The position is fixed term for 1 year in the first instance, with the possibility of extension based either in Oxford or the USA. Funding for this post is provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Only applications received before 12:00pm midday on Monday 26th January 2015 will be considered.
Please quote reference 116003 on all correspondence. You will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement as part of your online application.
Grade 8: £38,511 – £45,954 with a discretionary range to £50,200 p.a.
