  • MSc, PhD or equivalent in statistics, biostatistics, epidemiology or in a related discipline
  • Strong statistical programming skills in a statistical package (SAS, R and/or Stata)
  • Proven experience working with large, individual-level data sets
  • Excellent time management skills, contributing to multiple projects with competing timelines
  • Experience designing and executing prospective or retrospective database studies

  • Exposure to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries
  • Ideally, prior experience working in a consultancy, CRO or other service sector in the healthcare industry
  • Interpersonal, teamwork and communication skills
  • Publications in peer reviewed journals and/or abstracts in scientific conferences
