We are seeking candidates with the research skills and experience required to successfully assume a leadership role in the SDBC, to provide statistical support for the development of grant proposals, and play the role of the lead statistician on multidisciplinary research efforts. The successful candidate will have opportunities to participate in methodological research and teaching. Substantive interest and experience is desired in one or more of the following areas: modern causal inference, secondary data analysis, clinical trial design, machine learning and high dimensional data analysis, applications of mixed effects models to health data, behavioral statistics, psychometrics and pharmacological data analysis.

The SDBC currently includes 7 PhD and 17 MS level biostatisticians, as well as several PhD statistics students. Focus areas of the SDBC and the broader TRIAD team include the design of clinical trials and observational studies, analysis of longitudinal and survival data, epidemiologic modeling, Bayesian analysis, modern causal inference, statistical genetics and genomics, machine learning methods, health economics, survey design, systematic reviews, behavioral statistics and psychometrics, implementation science and qualitative research.
