Subject area
Health Statistics
Subject area description
Health Statistics at the Health Metrics unit, Department of Public Health and Community Medicine, Institute of Medicine, has a primary focus on applied statistical analyses in the health and medical sciences. Parts where we have substantial teaching and research include survival analysis, causal inference, econometrics, multivariate methods. The unit also has a role to coordinate all teaching and research in health and medical statistics at the medical faculty (Sahlgrenska Academy) at the university of Gothenburg.
Job assignments
The work tasks include teaching health and medical statistics in one or more of the degree programs at the Sahlgrenska Academy and conduct independent research on topics related to applied health and medical statistics. Moreover, tasks include research and statistical consulting in interdisciplinary research teams at the Sahlgrenska Academy, Sahlgrenska University Hospital and the Västra Götaland region. It is also expected that the candidate will actively seek external research funding as a principal investigator as well as a part in other research groups. Some administrative duties are also part of the position. Teaching is most often conducted in English, but some courses/workshops are given in Swedish. If the candidate is not able to teach in Swedish upon appointment, it is expected that the candidate will be able to do so within a number of years.
Eligibility
The qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
PhD in Statistics, Health/Medical Statistics, or Mathematical Statistics. Terminal degrees in other statistical areas (e.g. epidemiology or econometrics) may be substituted on a case-by-case basis. Demonstrated pedagogical skills are also required.
Assessment
Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
Pedagogical and research qualifications will be equally important in evaluating applicants. The evaluation of research will rely strongly on the proposed statistical research program and its relevance to the work carried out at Health Metrics. Of importance is also experience in applied statistical analyses of health and medical data from clinical trials and/or from large health registers. Experience of statistical consulting with clinical and medical research groups is also an important criterion. In terms of pedagogical qualifications, primary focus will be on experience of teaching statistics to students in health and medical degree programs with no prior background of (university-level) statistics or mathematics.
Fluency in English is required. Swedish language skill is not necessary, but is a merit considering that some of our courses in the undergraduate programs are taught in Swedish.
Applications that have no formal certificates/courses on university level pedagogy are expected to complete such training during the first year of employment.
Employment
1-2 employments, full time permanent positions, located at The Institute of Medicine. First day of employment is by agreement.
