Biostatistics

In 2020, WAHTN introduced Biostatistician Fellowships as part of its commitment to support emerging talent, build and strengthen research capacity within the WA workforce and deliver high quality translational health research through improved biostatistical analysis within clinical research projects. The 12-month WAHTN Fellowships are aligned with WAHTN’s Clinical Trials and Data Management Centre (CTDMC) and supported by funding from the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) as part of the Rapid Applied Research Translation program.

The Biostatistician Fellows are provided support and training throughout their fellowship with:

• • Mentorship and supervision by a senior Biostatistician to provide guidance and support.
  • Training in biostatistical consulting from one of the Perth Biostatistical Consulting Services.

This will enable them to develop their skills in consulting with clinical researchers, to provide statistical support to WAHTN Partner organisations and build future collaborations to progress from pure consultancy to being valued research team members.

2021 Biostatistician Fellowship Applications

Applications have recently closed for one 12-month Fellowship, open to employees of WAHTN Partner organisations for the period October 2021 to September 2022.

The Fellowship will provide training opportunities for a Biostatistician to develop their skills for consulting with clinical researchers, building relationships for future collaborations, and providing biostatistical support to WAHTN Partner organisations. The Fellowship will have a strong focus on clinical trials and randomisation, and experience in these areas will be looked on favourably.
