Biostatistics Research Scientist

As a Research Scientist, you will be an expert in biostatistics and collaborate with biomedical investigators in planning studies ranging from laboratory-based to community-based research. You must ensure compliance with statistical principles when designing experiments or observational studies. The Research Scientist will develop hypothesis-testing strategies and analyze data to model biological observations and individual clinical and/or population data.The Research Scientist will design efficient trials and experiments, including calculating and determining sample size. They will plan, write, and prepare biostatistical sections of research proposals, manuscripts, articles, and abstracts. Additionally, the Research Scientist will identify or develop new statistical methods requiring programming computer-intensive statistical methods and serve as the principal investigator on OSU grants subcontracts and statistical methodology proposals, if appropriate.The Research Scientist will perform research on new methods, make recommendations regarding research procedures, manage and oversee the selection and design of research methodologies used for data analysis, and establish research procedures. They will direct and manage grant budgets, troubleshoot problems, and advise staff and researchers on new technology and trends in biostatistics.The Research Scientist must obtain significant funding in support of their salary by promoting the inclusion of biostatistics collaboration in research proposals and MOUs. They will write and contribute to developing manuscripts, articles, abstracts, and reports for publication in peer-reviewed journals, and will be expected to attend and present findings at national and international conferences and workshops.The Research Scientist will collaborate with other researchers to determine priorities and plan research programs.
