We are currently looking for a motivated, enthusiastic Senior Researcher to join our Clinical Practice Research Datalink function in the Safety and Surveillance group.

Within a week of working here, your day could look like this: help shape the UK Government’s premier data-driven research service. You will participate in and support the delivery of public health research. The Senior Researcher will apply their epidemiological, statistical and leadership expertise to a range of studies to develop and deliver CPRD research services. Responsibilities include leadership of commissioned research; characterising, validating, and integrating new sources of data; monitoring data quality; developing methodologies and algorithms to add value to the data; and providing consultancy and advice to clients using CPRD data and services. The role will also be exposed to novel methods for integrating observational and real-world interventional studies and developing technical solutions for research.

The successful candidate will be educated to PhD level, or equivalent experience, in epidemiology, medical statistics, or a related discipline and will have a track record in publishing epidemiological research analysing large electronic health records databases.

• Ensure delivery of timely quality outcomes, through providing the right resources to do the job, reviewing and adjusting performance expectations and rewarding success.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills with experience in presenting research, writing study protocols, and drafting strategic papers and manuscripts for publication.
• Experience in data characterisation and developing tools to add value to, or analyse, complex datasets.
• Knowledge of regulation and governance of using electronic health records for research within the English and devolved administration’s legal, ethical and governance environments.
