An experienced Principal Biostatistician with a passion for clinical development and analysis, adept at utilizing advanced statistical methods, you will lead studies across your region. You are excited and enthusiastic, motivate your teams to do great work and collaborate easily with your clients.

  • Write code to build and apply analytical models within study analyses, including predictive or exploratory modelling approaches where appropriate.
  • Apply statistical techniques, machine learning, or Bayesian methods to uncover insights in clinical datasets.
  • Design and perform hypothesis testing and exploratory analyses to support clinical development questions.
  • Conduct statistical analyses using R and/or Python, with SAS used where required.
  • Work primarily within the biostatistics team to deliver high-quality analyses for clinical studies.

  • Programming experience in R (required); Python is also beneficial.
  • SAS knowledge is advantageous, particularly for QC and regulatory outputs, but candidates with strong R/Python skills should be able to learn SAS quickly.
  • Familiarity with statistical modelling techniques, including regression, survival analysis, or Bayesian methods.
  • Exposure to machine learning approaches is desirable. Basic familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) or willingness to learn quickly.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.
