The Role
Quotient Sciences has a fantastic career opportunity for a Trainee Statistical Programmer. This role will be based in the Statistical Programming department at our site in Edinburgh.

This is an excellent opportunity to start your career as a Trainee Statistical Programmer and be involved in the challenging environment of early phase clinical studies.

You will be trained in many different aspects of statistical programming and work with complex clinical data.

Data Sciences at Quotient Sciences comprises over 100 staff and provides an expert service in the data management, modelling, analysis and reporting of early Phase clinical studies (both healthy volunteer and patient).

Each clinical study is set-up according to the clinical protocol which details the study design, objectives, dosing information, data collection and reporting methods.

Other project team members will perform tasks such as study database set-up, collection of data, perform formal statistical analysis, report writing, etc.

Working as part of the team your role as a programming specialist will involve the following:

To program tables, listings, figures and study datasets
We use the programming language SAS (an industry standard, widely used outside the clinical sector too) and full training will be provided in the SAS programming language and programming techniques
Dependent on your development, our career pathway allows you to expand your programming role over time and progress to more senior roles and tasks
Early Phase studies present particular SAS programming challenges due to their complexity (e.g. due to multiple study parts) and midstudy protocol/database changes, interim reporting/transfers, etc.
You will be expected to be flexible and creative in your programming skills

Other skills and experience required:

Good organisational and presentation skills and be able to work to deadlines whilst maintaining quality standards
Good attention to detail and the ability to multitask
Effective oral and written communication skills are also required as you will, in time, be a primary statistical programming point of contact with clients, external data providers and clinical staff.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK upon being offered employed.
