Training & Recruitment
The MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit recruits and supports staff and PhD students from multiple disciplines, including epidemiology, statistics, computer science, data-science, social science, molecular biology, genetic and communications and engagement background. Our mission is to support people to undertake translational inter- and multi-disciplinary research to improve population health. We achieve this in a supportive environment that encourages staff at all levels to learn from each other and obtain training tailored to their research and career development.
Career development
All staff have an annual development review with their line manager, which is a chance to reflect on work, how it supports the overall success of the IEU, career goals and to make a plan for training and development. Scientific and methods training is offered through the short course programme and a rich academic experience is provided through the full programme of seminars, clinics and workshops. Researchers also have the opportunity to develop the broader skills needed for a successful research career, including in teaching, science communication, and engaging with and involving research stakeholders.
