Biostatisticians Job Summary
The University of Utah Data Coordinating Center (DCC) is seeking a biostatistician to join our collaborative, data driven team. The Utah DCC partners with investigators nationwide to provide data management, project management, and statistical expertise for large-scale multicenter research studies spanning a wide range of clinical and public health topics. As a member of the team, you will contribute to study design, perform statistical analysis, and support reporting and dissemination of results across diverse research areas.
Ideal candidates bring solid knowledge of standard statistical procedures, moderate programming skills in at least one statistical language (such as SAS or R), and familiarity with relational databases and large-scale data systems. Attention to detail, the ability to critically think through complex analyses, and a collaborative approach to problem-solving are essential in this dynamic research environment.

This position offers the opportunity to work closely with investigators, data scientists, clinicians, public health experts, and other biostatisticians to advance high-impact research through data-driven insights.

The Utah DCC is a full-service Academic Research Organization (ARO) that operates a comprehensive Clinical and Data Coordinating Center. We support investigators and sponsors in academics, government, and industry with end-to-end expertise in research design, management, execution, and analysis. Our mission is to harness the power of collaboration, advance science, move society, and benefit humanity. Our vision is a world where transformative scientific innovation persistently moves society and humanity forward.

Responsibilities
Ensure the statistical integrity and accuracy of biomedical or clinical research data. Perform statistical design, modeling, and analysis. Provide statistical summaries and reports of studies in support of product development. Consult with scientists and engineers to ensure proper use of statistical methodology and interpretation of results. Program statistical software packages (e.g., SAS/STAT, Stata, or R) to improve quality and efficiency of life science projects. May respond to questions from regulatory authorities on statistical issues.

  • Develop and manage analysis datasets and associated documentation, including dataset specifications and data checks.
  • Perform statistical analyses using standard methods and statistical software (e.g., SAS, R, Stata) and prepare analytic deliverables such as tables, figures, and reports for interim and final results.
  • Interpret and clearly communicate results including statistical methods, findings, and limitations to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary study teams including investigators, data managers, and other study staff by providing statistical perspective and input across all study stages (study design, enrollment, and post-enrollment).
  • Maintain quality assurance and documentation standards for all analytic work to ensure reproducibility, transparency, and compliance with Utah DCC standard operating procedures.
  • Coordinate with supervising and faculty biostatisticians to prioritize and manage competing project timelines, communicate progress, and proactively address challenges in data or design.
  • Contribute to manuscripts, abstracts, and presentations including drafting analysis sections, generating summary outputs, and assisting with methodological explanations.
  • Support database and data system development including collaboration on data structure design, data dictionary maintenance, and familiarity with relational databases (e.g., SQL, REDCap, or other clinical data management systems).
  • Identify and troubleshoot statistical or data-related issues, proposing potential solutions and escalating as appropriate.
  • Engage in continuous professional development, staying current on statistical methods, programming practices, and data management tools relevant to clinical and public health research.
