Senior Biostatistician, Center for Surgery and Public Health
Established in 2005 as a joint initiative of Harvard Medical School (HMS) and the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), CSPH's (Center for Surgery and Public Health) mission is to advance the science of surgical care delivery by studying effectiveness, equity, and value at the health system and population levels, to inform policy, and to provide support for faculty and trainees committed to excellence in surgical health services research (HSR).
CSPH's expertise in HSR also informs its work in addressing the burden of surgical disease in lower and middle-income countries and resource-limited settings.
GENERAL SUMMARYWe are seeking a master's-level biostatistician with at least 5 years of professional experience who can provide mentorship for early career biostatisticians.
The biostatistician manages, coordinates, and performs data and programming-related activities for health services research studies examining the science of surgical care delivery.
Functioning very independently and under the general direction of the Principal Investigator, performs complex statistical analyses of health services data often involving cleaning and merging of large administrative datasets.
May identify, develop, and implement new computational techniques.
Under general supervision of the Principal Investigator, applies, researches, and develops statistical models for analysis, inference, and prediction from a variety of large databases.
