An exciting opportunity has arisen on the British Association of Dermatologists Biologics and Immunomodulators Register (BADBIR; www.badbir.org). BADBIR is a long-term pharmacovigilance register of psoriasis patients receiving biologic or conventional systemic therapies. Established in 2007, BADBIR has 20,000 registrations and is the largest such registry for psoriasis globally.
We are seeking a Research Associate to join the team and help fulfil BADBIR’s academic publication plan using a world-leading dataset. The work will include developing an understanding of the data collected, the complex needs of all BADBIR stakeholders and statistical / epidemiological methods to address limitations with the data.
You will assist study staff, students and external stakeholders working on the data. There is significant opportunity to work with academics, NHS partners and pharmaceutical companies in this role. Excellent communication skills are required to effectively tailor and convey information to these groups including lay audiences where required.
A PhD in epidemiology or a related discipline is required. You should have excellent organisational skills and the ability to work well both in a team and using your own initiative. Experience of working with confidential data and experience of using statistical software is essential.
