    The Diabetes Research Centre and NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre are looking to recruit a talented, motivated individual to join an established, successful research team and contribute to a programme of work focussing on understanding how the physical behaviours that comprise the 24-hour day (from sleep to physical activity) can be harnessed in the prevention or management of long-term conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity, or how they interact with common weight loss or glucose lowering therapies.

    The post provides an excellent opportunity for an ambitious researcher to work within a novel priority area, and contribute to the ongoing development of our Research Centre alongside advancing their independent research career.

We are looking for an individual who has advanced knowledge and experience of various trial designs (Phase 2 to 3) along with some experience in at least one of the following areas:

    • Bayesian methodologies within clinical trials, including adaptive features.
    • Mendelian randomization.
    • Bioinformatics, with application to '-omics' techniques that support mechanistic insight.
    • Multi-level modelling with repeated measures.
    • Advanced coding in R or Python.
