About the team:
Syngenta’s Biometrics Group provides specialist support in experimental design and data analysis to a wide range of projects and functions across R&D. As professional statisticians, we pride ourselves in helping scientists to design, conduct and analyse experiments in a way that optimises the use of company resources, leads to reliable conclusions and ultimately, the right decisions for the business. The Biometrics Group are now looking for an additional statistician to grow our team.
The main accountabilities of the role are:
• To provide specialist advice on experimental design
• To decide upon and conduct appropriate statistical analysis of key datasets arising from lab, greenhouse and field studies
• To report findings to scientists and project teams and contribute to subsequent decisions
• To provide formal and informal training to non-statistician colleagues on relevant statistical issues
Qualifications
- The projects you will be working on span a wide range of scientific disciplines and consequently the nature of the work is highly varied and technically challenging. Although you will be based in the UK, it is likely that much of your work will relate to studies carried out in Switzerland, the USA and elsewhere. Occasional overseas travel should therefore be expected.
- You will need a good degree in a maths-related subject plus an MSc and/or relevant PhD in statistics, or equivalent work experience. You will need to be able to work accurately under pressure, and to communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely both orally and in writing. A good working knowledge of SAS and/or R, and a familiarity with biological processes are both desirable but not essential. Considerable relevant experience would also be expected for the more senior role.

- Training for the role in a supportive team environment
