We are seeking to hire a full-time Biostatistician for the Johns Hopkins University research unit of the multi-center Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.
Overview of the ARIC Study: The ARIC Study has collected data from nearly 16,000 participants at four sites examined multiple times with a 25-year follow-up visit that is nearly complete. The primary research topics are in heart disease, kidney disease, and diabetes although investigators utilize these data for a broad range of topics. The study includes a large number of ancillary grants including genetic research. Core investigators of the Johns Hopkins ARIC Study research unit have faculty appointments in the Schools of Public Health and Medicine (~50 investigators and students at Hopkins collaborate with other sites; ARIC publishes ~60 papers a year with ~10-20 per year led by Hopkins investigators).
The ideal candidate for this position will have outstanding quantitative skills and a strong interest in collaborative epidemiologic and biostatistical research. Data management skills are important. The ARIC study analytic core, based the Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology and Clinical Research ( http://www.jhsph.edu/welchcent... ), is affiliated with the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Training Program (www.jhsph.edu/cvdepi), and has strong ties to multiple departments and other training programs at Johns Hopkins.
Master's degree in biostatistics, epidemiology, or related quantitative field. PhD preferred.
Three (3) years related experience in a similar work or academic setting.
Demonstrated ability on significant graduate project or additional doctoral education may substitute for experience to the extent permitted by the JHU equivalency formula.

For jobs where equivalency is permitted, up to two years of non-related college course work may be applied towards the total minimum education/experience required for the respective job. *
