Job description
We are seeking a Data Analyst to join the Cancer Theme team. You will join our well-established, productive and friendly team to work on both existing and new projects.
A major focus of the Cancer Theme at NDPCHS is building interdisciplinary teams to deliver projects to improve cancer control in primary care with impact and direct patient benefit. To do this the cancer research theme works closely with patients, primary care professionals, cancer charities, researchers from other disciplines and institutions, NHS commissioners, diagnostics services and companies, and cancer care in the hospital setting. This multidisciplinary approach enables the team to use the most appropriate research methodologies to address pressing research questions that have arisen out of direct clinical care. The work of the Cancer Theme is organised into four themes: health records data, clinical studies, implementation science, and diagnostic reasoning.
You will be primarily responsible for the design and analysis of quantitative studies in the area of Cancer. This includes the analysis of data from studies such as the ‘Monitoring Attendance, INvestigation, Referral and OUTcomes in primary care' (MAINROUTE) study, investigating changes in primary care activity over the past five years, and working with large databases of electronic primary health care records such as the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) and the Oxford Clinical Informatics Digital Hub Platform (ORCHID).
You must hold a higher degree in medical statistics, epidemiology, or have equivalent experience, and be familiar with all aspects of study design and large scale data management.
The position is offered full time.
