This Opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Biostatistician with expertise in the design, analysis, and interpretation of studies using electronic health records (EHR) and administrative claims data. This role will support a wide range of real-world data (RWD) projects including retrospective and prospective cohort studies, comparative effectiveness research, HEOR studies, and more. The ideal candidate is highly proficient in using real-world data and advanced statistical methods, and thrives in a collaborative, data-intensive environment.

Key Responsibilities

Study Design & Data Strategy

• Collaborate with the Research Services team to design and develop statistical analysis plans (SAPs) tailored for EHR and claims-based studies, and provide input into study protocols
• Review and develop methods to validate variable definitions, cohort definitions, and various data elements.

Data Analytics & Programming

• Conduct complex statistical analyses (e.g., time-to-event analysis, longitudinal data analysis, causal inference methods for observational and quasi-experimental designs such as propensity score matching, inverse probability weighting, and difference-in-difference) using R or Python.
• QC analyses and check assumptions of statistical models to ensure correct implementation of analyses and ensure quality and robustness of results.
• Review methods for data wrangling and transformation of large-scale EHR and claims data using SQL, R, or Python. Support data cleaning as needed.
• Develop and review reusable analytic pipelines and tools for scalable RWD analysis.

Reporting & Communication

• Interpret statistical findings in the context of real-world data limitations (e.g., missingness, measurement error).
• Generate clear and actionable insights via statistical reports, dashboards, or manuscripts.
• Present results to internal teams, clinicians, external stakeholders, and research collaborators.

Technical & Scientific Leadership

• Provide statistical mentorship and code review for junior team members.
• Provide thought leadership for how we can better leverage real-world data for research studies (ex: how can we fine-tune methods to better adjust for confounders, infer causality, and improve data quality?) .
• Ensure adherence to industry best practices and reproducible research principles.

Required Skills

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Biostatistics, Mathematics, Epidemiology, Health Economics, Data Science, or related field.
• 5+ years of applied statistical experience with EHR and/or claims data (e.g., Optum, MarketScan, Flatiron, Epic, Cerner, CMS ).
• Strong programming skills in R and SQL; experience with Python, PySpark, or Databricks a plus.
