The Institute is looking for a visionary leader to take charge of our Department of Applied Statistics and Epidemiology.

The position
As Head of Department you will take part in the leadership of the Institute, at present composed by six Heads of Department and one Head of Programme.

Ability to collaborate with individual researchers and research groups within and outside our institute, including clinicians and laboratory researchers at treatment centres, is necessary.  

Required qualifications
Your research background should be on a postdoctoral level, preferably on a professor level.  
You must hold extensive knowledge in theoretical statistics and also have attained substantial practical experience in the area of applied statistics.  Experience with epidemiological research, including research based on use of register information and data obtained directly from study subjects, will be an asset.  Ability to attract research funding is an advantage. 

Your qualifications will be assessed by an evaluation committee consisting of one internal and two external scientists.  Qualified candidates will be invited for an interview with an appointments committee composed by the Director of the Institute and department staff, who will then select the successful candidate.
