Biostatistician for AI-Assisted Clinical Research
$60–$65/hr
About this role
Apply clinical biostatistics expertise to author, review, and validate evaluation tasks that train and evaluate AI-assisted clinical research systems. You will derive, reproduce, and confirm statistical outputs from clinical datasets and tables, figures, and listings, establish defensible ground truth for evaluations, and communicate clear, evidence-based rationales about statistical correctness and methodology.
Key Responsibilities- Author and review evaluation tasks that require deriving, reproducing, or validating statistical outputs from clinical datasets and associated TFLs, establishing reproducible ground truth for each task.
- Reproduce analyses independently from written specifications, verifying estimates, confidence intervals, p-values, and other reported statistics against source data and methods.
- Assess correctness and consistency of reported results with respect to the statistical analysis plan, including analysis populations, censoring rules, and missing-data handling.
- Identify discrepancies between statistical outputs and narrative descriptions in clinical study reports, including subtle errors in population definitions, multiplicity handling, or other method choices.
- Document derivation and verification processes so results can be independently checked, and provide structured written rationales distinguishing true statistical errors from acceptable methodological alternatives.
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary project team to refine evaluation tasks, criteria, and documentation.
- Required technical skills, demonstrated: SAS, R, CDISC SDTM, CDISC ADaM, statistical analysis plan interpretation, survival analysis, mixed models, covariate adjustment, multiplicity control, estimand and missing-data strategies under ICH E9(R1), TFL production and quality control, regulatory submission preparation, statistical quality control, and clinical study report review.
- Proficiency in SAS and/or R with the ability to reproduce analyses from written specifications.
- Strong written communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and attention to detail.
- Advanced degree, MSc or PhD, in Biostatistics, Statistics, or a closely related quantitative field.
- Preferred, but not strictly required: 5+ years as a biostatistician supporting clinical trials at a sponsor, CRO, or academic trials unit.
- Nice to have: experience as lead statistician on pivotal or registrational studies, authorship or review of CSR statistical sections, oncology endpoint expertise, or exposure to AI-assisted statistical review tools.
- Engagement type: Independent contractor.
- Location: Remote.
- Project focus: Contributing clinical-statistics subject matter expertise to a customer project aimed at AI-assisted clinical research, producing evaluation tasks and ground-truth documentation for model training and evaluation. No prior experience in AI is required, domain knowledge in clinical statistics is the priority.
Hourly rate: $60 to $65 per hour.
Eligibility- Candidates must be able to work as independent contractors.
- Hands-on experience producing or quality controlling TFLs for regulatory submissions and working directly from CDISC SDTM and ADaM datasets is expected for this role.
- Preference will be given to candidates with 5+ years supporting clinical trials at a sponsor, CRO, or academic trials unit, and with experience interpreting SAPs and ensuring reported results align with pre-specified analyses.
