Discover Impactful Work :

The Biostatistician will work under the guidance of a Biostatistical Team Lead to complete statistical analysis plans (SAPs) involving complicated longitudinal registry data.

The Biostatistician will help to compile appropriate analytic summaries and context for reports and publications.

Query work : We design, analyze and report on research projects, aka queries, with our clients to produce publications for the public domain ( abstracts, posters, podium presentations, manuscripts, etc.)

Each query is a team effort with a :

o biostatistician lead who designs and leads the potentially complicated analysis

o epidemiologist / clinical research manager that coordinates the whole endeavor

o clinical epidemiologist who helps with design and frames the overall message

o biostatistician analyst who performs the analysis (biostatistician I / II / III)

• Pharmacovigilance (PV) work : Through close collaboration with the PV team, we design, analyze and report on long-term post approval safety studies with our pharma clients to provide real-world evidence of safety
• Registry work : We work cross-functionally with the Engineering, Clinical Data Management and Project Management teams on all the registry data taking into account client requests from our query and PV work
