Clinical Data Scientist/ Statistician

About The Job

We are seeking a statistician with a strong interest in non-randomized study designs to join our Biometrics & Real-World Data (RWD) team. In this role, you will contribute to the design, analysis, and interpretation of studies that fall outside the traditional randomized controlled trial (RCT) framework. These include observational studies (cross-sectional and longitudinal), quasi-experimental designs (such as pragmatic trials), and single-arm studies. You will work with data generated in real-world settings—ranging from digital health tools to registries—where methodological rigor must be balanced with operational feasibility.

Your responsibilities will include developing statistical analysis plans, identifying and mitigating sources of bias and confounding, and applying appropriate methods for causal inference and sensitivity analysis. You will collaborate closely with clinical, data science, and regulatory teams to ensure that statistical deliverables are robust, transparent, and aligned with both scientific and business objectives. Experience with real-world data workflows, including quality control, documentation, and exploratory analysis, is highly valued.
