Statistical Specialist

Are you a highly experienced statistician looking for an opportunity to use your statistical knowledge and quality mindset to bring clinical projects to registration and market? Are you ready to work with our broad and expanding pipeline? Do you thrive in an inclusive, engaging, and global environment?

Then, this could be your chance to join our Biostatistics organisation. Apply today and join us for a life-changing career!

The position

You will be part of the team of statisticians and statistical programmers working on early phase clinical projects within liver disease.
 

In your daily work you will be directly involved in the trial conduct of several early-phase clinical trials.

Within Biostatistics you will be working closely with the international project statistician who has the overall scientific responsibility for our deliverables.

You will take active part in protocol development including trial design, endpoints, estimands and sample size. Furthermore, you will be responsible for writing and clearly communicating the statistical analysis plan for the clinical trials and assisting the implementation of the statistical programming.
Ensuring alignment across the early liver disease projects will also be an important part of your tasks.

Following trial completion, you will be responsible for interpreting and presenting the results as well as supporting colleagues, ensuring they understand and adhere to relevant processes.

You will have a close collaboration with e.g. medical specialists, clinical pharmacology, pharmacometrics. It is therefore important that you clearly communicate statistical concepts and ideas to all our stakeholders.

***The position will be based in either Søborg or Aalborg.***

The ideal candidate has: 

• a strong background in mathematics and statistics
• +5 years of experience within clinical or biostatistical research 
• experience from a pharmaceutical company
