We are seeking an ambitious and enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher in the field of clinical epidemiology and biostatistics.
This post has arisen as a result of the successful, and internationally renowned, teaching programme in Evidence Based Healthcare. This is a joint programme between the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences and the Department for Continuing Education's Continuing Professional Development Centre. Academic direction is provided by the renowned Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (CEBM) in Oxford.
The programme supports postgraduate training in Evidence Based Healthcare and includes the MSc and DPhil programmes in Evidence-Based Health Care. New for 2017/18 are two further Master's programmes in Systematic Reviews and Medical Statistics.
Our program of courses encourages students to think critically about evidence and put this evidence into practice. Teachers are internationally recognised leaders and active researchers in the field of evidence-based health care. The flexible modular structure has been devised for busy professionals and to fit with the structure of specialist training. More details of the courses can be found at: www.conted.ox.ac.uk/about/evidence-based-healthcare
The postholder will be predominantly responsible for supporting and delivering teaching and supervisory guidance across the Evidence-Based Health Care program. The postholder will be asked to also contribute to the undergraduate teaching program within the Medical School at the University of Oxford.
The appointee will also be responsible for supporting research within the Department as well as developing funding streams to support independent research that fits within the Centre’s remit and long term vision.
The successful applicant will have a PhD in a relevant area, with experience of working in a high quality research and teaching environment as well as an interest in furthering their career in applied health research.
This is a fixed-term post available full-time for 3 years. The successful applicant would ideally start in October 2017. They would be a member of the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine team, led by Professor Carl Heneghan (Director), Dr Kamal R. Mahtani (Deputy Director) and Ms Ruth Davis (Centre Manager) and based in the Radcliffe Observatory quarter in central Oxford.
