Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in Medical Statistics and Health Data Science

Join the University of Bristol to make rigorous causal inference from NHS data faster and more accessible. On this NIHR-funded programme, Efficient estimation of target trials in electronic health records data, you will develop computationally efficient methods and open-source software for target trial emulation — a powerful approach for estimating the effects of health care interventions from observational data. Current software can take days to run on large datasets; our aim is to make these analyses at least ten times faster and put the tools in the hands of researchers worldwide. You will work with Dr Tom Palmer, Dr Paul Madley-Dowd, Dr Venexia Walker and Professor Jonathan Sterne in Bristol, and Dr Will Hulme at the University of Oxford, joining Bristol's Electronic Health Records team in the Department of Population Health Sciences — a leading UK centre for data science and causal inference research.
