• Provide expertise in statistical methods and study design to ensure robustness, reliability, and ethical conduct of clinical research

Statistical Analysis Plans (SAP):

• Develop and write detailed statistical analysis plans (SAP) outlining the analysis methods, endpoints, and statistical techniques to be used in clinical studies
• Ensure SAPs are aligned with study objectives, regulatory requirements, and industry standards

Design of Experiment (DOE) Statistical Support for Assay Development:

• Provide statistical guidance and support for assay development projects, including experimental design, data analysis, and interpretation
• Apply Design of Experiment (DOE) principles to optimize assay performance, sensitivity, and specificity

Epidemiological and Healthcare Economic Modeling with Real World Data:

• Utilize real-world data sources (e.g., electronic health records, screening data) to conduct epidemiological studies and modeling
• Conduct robust healthcare economic analyses to characterize the impact of early detection of cancer in large-scale screening programs
• Develop and implement statistical models to analyze healthcare outcomes, disease trends, and treatment effectiveness
• Collaborate with epidemiologists and public health experts to translate findings into actionable insights

Statistical Analysis and Interpretation:

• Perform statistical analyses of clinical and epidemiological data using appropriate statistical software (e.g., R)
• Interpret statistical results, prepare summary reports, and communicate findings to stakeholders including researchers, clinicians, and regulatory agencies

Quality Control and Assurance:

• Ensure data integrity, accuracy, and completeness through rigorous quality control procedures
• Implement and adhere to regulatory guidelines and industry standards for statistical analysis and reporting
• Participate in an internal Data Safety and Monitoring Committee

• Strong statistical background with expertise in study design, data analysis, and statistical modeling
• Experience in clinical research, preferably in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or healthcare industry
• Proficiency in statistical software packages such as SAS or R
• Knowledge of regulatory requirements (e.g., FDA, ICH) and guidelines for clinical trials and epidemiological studies
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex statistical concepts to diverse audiences
• Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in the preparation of data packages for FDA submission
• Experience with real-world data analysis and epidemiological modeling techniques, including applications in healthcare economics
• Familiarity with machine learning methods and their applications in healthcare analytics
• Knowledge of Bayesian statistics and its applications in clinical research
• Prior experience in designing experiments and optimizing assays using statistical methods
• Understanding of healthcare informatics and electronic health records (EHR) data
• Certification in Clinical Trials or Epidemiology (e.g., CCRA, CPH) is a plus
