• 5+ years of experience applying statistical methods to clinical, biomedical, health technology, medical device, pharmaceutical, diagnostics, or life sciences research.
• Demonstrated expertise in designing and analyzing observational studies, interventional clinical studies, and real-world data studies that support evidence generation or product decision-making.
• Experience programming in R and/or Python for analysis of complex life science, biomedical or healthcare datasets.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with products in a health-regulated environment (e.g. submissions involving the FDA or other health authorities).
• Hands‑on experience generating evidence from digital product data as a primary data source, including handling missingness, measurement error, and analytic approaches specific to continuous digital measures.
• Experience with Bayesian methods, adaptive trial designs, or causal inference methods for observational/RWD studies.
• Experience using reproducible research workflows, version control systems such as Git, and modern coding tools, including AI-assisted development tools where appropriate.
