About this role

The Epidemiologist/Biostatistician leads and executes statistical analyses for research projects in epidemiology and health outcomes. This role involves designing analysis plans, managing real-world data like electronic healthcare databases and claims data, and disseminating results through reports, manuscripts, and presentations.

Day-to-day duties include characterizing disease incidence, prevalence, risk factors, and burden of illness. Professionals estimate treatment patterns, healthcare costs, and evaluate policies or comparative effectiveness of treatments using advanced statistical methods such as survival analysis and mixed effects modeling.

Collaboration occurs with internal and external experts, principal investigators, and biostatistical teams to ensure project quality from design to dissemination. Assist in developing study plans, defining research questions, and operationalizing variables while reviewing statistical analysis plans and estimating sample sizes.

Opportunities involve leading biostatistical teams, writing STATA programs for data cleaning and analysis, and producing publication-ready tables and visualizations.
