About The Position:

• During study design phase, recommend appropriate statistical methods to address study research objectives (e.g., power calculations, methods to mitigate selection bias, development of matched cohorts, development of measures from multiple sources [e.g., EMR + claims], analysis of NLP-derived measures from unstructured EMR, approach for outcomes that require time-to-event analysis with competing risk, multivariable modeling, repeated measures, time-averaged clinical measures, causal inference, and techniques for analyzing rare and ultra rare populations including Bayesian statistics).

• Write statistical analysis plans to address the above considerations.

• Execute and interpret statistical analyses using R.

• Review summary tables, study reports, and publications for accuracy.

• Ability and willingness to train and work within the Panalgo IHD analytics platform.

• Working knowledge of regulatory and methodological standards for realworld evidence, including data quality, bias mitigation, and transparency.

• Ability to succinctly communicate complex technical methods to cross-functional audiences.
