About this role
Lead statistical work supporting clinical trials and scientific research within AbbVie’s R&D organization. The role independently develops statistical plans and delivers high-quality analysis outputs and publication-ready reporting.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, analysis and reporting of clinical trials or other scientific research studies
- Independently develop protocols and/or statistical analysis plans with programming implementation details
- Perform statistical analyses as per the analysis plan and deliver high-quality outputs
- Manage data presentation and inference; ensure accuracy and internal consistency of reports/publications
- Collaborate cross-functionally and communicate statistical concepts to non-statisticians
Technical Overview
Owns the end-to-end clinical trial statistics workflow: protocol and statistical analysis plan development, derived variable and analysis dataset specifications, performing statistical analyses per the plan, and ensuring accuracy for tables/listings/figures. Partners with Data Science and Statistical Programming through database lock and evaluates software needs for planned analyses.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a biostatistics/Statistics professional with an MS and 6+ years of experience (or a PhD with 2+ years) supporting clinical trials in the pharmaceutical industry. They independently create protocols and statistical analysis plans, perform statistical analyses per plan, and ensure high-quality, accurate reporting for publications and study deliverables.
