An exciting opportunity to join an established team of statisticians, informaticians and other quantitative scientists in the Department of Biostatistics and Health Informatics at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience. The department is world-renowned for developing novel methodology and applications in the field of mental health and is currently expanding by recruiting to several new posts.
The focus of this role is applying statistical methods in clinical trials and will involve working with clinical collaborators at the IoPPN and externally, and with the King’s Clinical Trials Unit and NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre. The post holder will work on a range of clinical trials in mental health funded by NIHR and UKRI.
The post holder will be expected to conduct, analyse, and report randomized controlled trials and well-planned cohort studies. This will require a good understanding of statistical methodology and proven expertise in Stata, R or equivalent software. Your contribution to both applied analysis and methodological development will be recognised through authorship on publications, including opportunities as first author.

King's has an outstanding reputation for world-class teaching and cutting-edge research. In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) King’s was ranked 6th nationally in the ‘power’ ranking, which takes into account both the quality and quantity of research activity, and 7th for quality according to Times Higher Education rankings.

The university is in the top seven UK universities for research earnings and has an overall annual income of more than £684 million.
King's has a particularly distinguished reputation in the humanities, law, the sciences (including a wide range of health areas such as psychiatry, medicine, nursing and dentistry) and social sciences including international affairs. It has played a major role in many of the advances that have shaped modern life, such as the discovery of the structure of DNA and research that led to the development of radio, television, mobile phones and radar.
