We are a world class research-intensive university. We deliver teaching and learning of the highest quality. We play a leading role in economic, social and cultural development of the North East of England. Attracting and retaining high-calibre people is fundamental to our continued success.

The Role
The purpose of this role is to understand how we can support older people to stay in their own home as they age. You will do this by modelling health data from longitudinal studies of health. This project is part of the Advanced Care Research Centre (ACRC) which is based at Edinburgh University. Newcastle University have an academic partnership to ‘Understand the Person in Context'. Specifically, this role aims to investigate how to age in place successfully by understanding what it is and what shapes it. You will join us at the Population Health Sciences Institute and work Professor Dame Louise Robinson, Professor Katie Brittain, Dr Kate Gibson and Dr Andrew Kingston.

We are looking for an individual with a robust background in statistics evidenced by a strong publication record and a proven track record of analysing data both cross-sectionally and longitudinally (evidenced by publications).

As a member of the team, you will analyse large complex datasets using advanced quantitative methods to answer policy and clinically relevant questions. You will be experienced in biostatistics/epidemiology and will be able to apply longitudinal/panel data methodology. Ideally you will be experienced in the manipulation and management of such datasets, and in the application of advanced methods. In addition, you will have experience of writing for a range of audiences to promote knowledge exchange and some understanding of and commitment to health research.
