Research Scientist, Centre for Population Health Sciences, University of Edinburgh, UK
Job Description: This post is designed to provide statistical research assistance for a project funded by the Chief Scientist’s Office supporting phase 3 of the Scottish Health and Ethnicity Linkage Study, which is focusing on respiratory and gastrointestinal data, and assessing the potential to link primary-care response to data.
In close collaboration with the co-applicants and under the direction of the principal investigator and the project research fellow, the post holder will work to achieve the academic aims and objectives of the grant proposal:
* Establish and explore the health status of minority ethnic groups in Scotland, with emphasis on ethnic inequalities in respiratory and gastrointestinal health.
* Establish the experience of minority ethnic groups regarding access to, and utilisation of, available healthcare services, and quantify any inequalities.
* Demonstrate whether or not NHS services are subject to inequalities and either highlight where action is required or provide evidence that no such action is needed.
* Determine the health outcomes experienced by minority ethnic groups, with emphasis on inequalities.
* Understand the mediators of ethnic inequalities, in particular the contribution of additional factors such as religion, country of birth and socio-economic position in modifying the relationship between ethnic group and health status.
Problem Solving
The post holder is expected to lead in resolving most statistical problems, but in communication with head statistician at ISD and the existing research fellows.
Person Specification
Qualifications: An undergraduate degree or equivalent, with a standard equivalent to an upper second honours degree (2.1) or higher and a masters degree, or equivalent, in a statistical discipline, preferably medical statistics.
Experience: Candidates should, ideally, have some work experience analysing data in a relevant area, such as medicine, nursing, public health, statistics, epidemiology, and social sciences. An interest in the health and health care of ethnic minority groups is necessary, although past experience of working with ethnic minority groups is not.
