The successful candidate will have strong quantitative research skills, expertise in complex data analysis, excellent leadership and management skills, the ability to clearly communicate the techniques involved in and the results of quantitative methods. The role involves delivery of high quality quantitative training and knowledge exchange events and providing advice and guidance on statistical matters.
