Employment: Postdoctoral Positions | University of Washington Biostatistics

POSTDOCTORAL SENIOR FELLOWSHIP IN BIOSTATISTICS: COLLABORATIVE HEALTH STUDIES COORDINATING CENTER (CHSCC). The Collaborative Health Studies Coordinating Center (CHSCC) in the University of Washington Department of Biostatistics is seeking a post-doctoral fellow to join our collaborative research team. The CHSCC coordinates several large scale cohort studies, primarily in the area of cardiovascular epidemiology, and enjoys an excellent reputation for research design and biostatistical analysis. This position is primarily with the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), a longitudinal study of subclinical cardiovascular disease currently in its 10th year, and with the HIV-CVD study, a consortium of studies investigating the inter-relationship of HIV and cardiovascular disease. The person in this position will perform statistical analyses, coauthor manuscripts, and provide statistical consultation for clinical investigators. Possible areas of specialization include, but are not limited to, longitudinal data analysis, missing data, competing risks, and survival analysis.

Duties include: performing independent statistical analyses of data for publication in peer-reviewed journals, and collaborate with investigators to develop new proposals to utilize existing MESA or HIV/CVD data. There are also opportunities for methodologic research and/or first authoring of study papers.

This position requires a solid understanding of statistical methodologies, epidemiological principals, and the ability to use this knowledge independently in analyzing often complex, longitudinal data sets. The person in this position will need to communicate complex scientific ideas to research investigators around the country.

Requirements: PhD in biostatistics, statistics or epidemiology with strong analytic skills.

To apply, please email a CV, contact information (phone/email) for three references and a research statement to:

Robyn McClelland, PhD
rmcclell@u.washington.edu

Salary to be determined. This position will remain open until filled.

The University of Washington is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer.
