  • Implement and document statistical analyses (e.g., descriptive statistics, survival analysis, regression modeling, propensity scoring).
  • Collaborate with epidemiologists, statisticians, and HEOR scientists to generate high-quality, reproducible analytic outputs.
  • Build efficient and well-documented data pipelines and ensure compliance with good programming practices (GPP).
  • Create clear visualizations and analytic reports using R Markdown, Shiny, or similar tools.
  • Contribute to analysis plans, QC documentation, and regulatory-grade deliverables
