## About the Role

* 2+ years of industry experience in applied data science
 * Deep understanding of probability and statistics, including power and sample size calculations, hypothesis testing,parametric and non-parametric methods, and survival analysis techniques such as Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier estimation.
 * Proven experience applying statistical methodologies and best practices-such as data preprocessing, feature engineering, and method selection-to real-world datasets, including clinical trial data, particularly within the pharmaceutical sector or in collaboration with contract research organizations.
 * Skilled in leveraging regression models-particularly linear and logistic regression-for both inference and prediction, applying techniques such as cross-validation, regularization (L1/L2), feature selection, and model evaluation using metrics including AUC, precision, recall, and calibration.
 * Experience applying supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques to real-world datasets, including predictive modelling, classification and clustering, with an understanding of appropriate model selection, validation and evaluation.
 * Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to communicate complex analytical findings clearly to clients, clinicians and other technical and non-technical stakeholders.
 * Ability to contribute to scientific communications, including abstracts, posters, presentations and manuscripts.
 * High level of competence with Python (Pandas, Jupyter, Scikit-learn, NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly)
 * Ability to write clean, efficient and maintainable Python code following best practices, including modular design,version control (Git), clear documentation, error handling, testing, and performance-conscious data processing (e.g.vectorization, memory management)
 * Expert skills with data wrangling and cleaning large datasets

Even better if

 * Experience with more advanced statistical models, such as mixed-effects models, is a plus
 * Ability to use matching techniques to create synthetic arms in clinical trial cohorts
 * Proficiency with the command line
 * Experience with cloud providers (AWS preferred)

Qualifications & Education

 * Degree in statistics, mathematics or a related quantitative or scientific subject
