Clinical Trial jobs in United States

JOB DESCRIPTION:

Abbott is about the power of health. For more than 135 years, Abbott has been helping people reach their potential — because better health allows people and communities to achieve more. With a diverse, global network serving customers in more than 160 countries, we create new solutions — across the spectrum of health, around the world, for all stages of life. Whether it’s next-generation diagnostics, life-changing devices, science-based nutrition, or novel reformulations, 114,000 of us are working together in advancing some of the most innovative and revolutionary technologies in healthcare, helping people live their best lives through better health.

As the industry Leader, Abbott's Diabetes Care business designs, develops and manufactures glucose monitoring systems for use in both home and hospital settings. We have a Centre of Excellence in Witney for the development and manufacture of electrodes and biosensors used by patients and healthcare professionals for the day-to-day management of diabetes. The site, and its Statistics team, has been instrumental in the research, development and manufacture of the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System and continues to work on a strong pipeline of products in development. We are passionate about doing work that improves the quality of people’s lives.

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Statistician I to join our R&D team based on site at our Medical Devices Centre of Excellence in Witney, Oxfordshire.

We are keen to hear from candidates looking for an opportunity to make an impact at work and contribute to patient health for the next generation of glucose-monitoring technology.

Unlike traditional pharma or CRO work, with Abbott Diabetes Care, you would be involved in end-to-end clinical trials for a small number of global projects that typically last from 4 to 18 months. From supporting protocol development through to preparing publications, you will see the impact of your work as we continue to support the growth of our FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose testing system in new markets, or for new patient populations. In addition, you will be providing key statistical support alongside scientists and engineers to the development of our pipeline products.

In this role, you would be joining a vibrant, friendly and diverse group, and through leading a small team, you can expect to work across a varied range of projects and statistical techniques. Our teams collaborate to form a network of Statistics professionals, and offer members the opportunity to share best practices, leverage insights and skill-sharing, and build personal career expertise and professional development. Further professional and/or academic accreditations/certifications can also be supported.

We will expect you to be able to successfully contribute to, or manage, a small number of projects, and work with colleagues from a range of backgrounds to explain statistical concepts to them. This means that in addition to your knowledge of statistical methods and data analysis for clinical research, you’ll need to be adaptable, have a keen eye for detail, excellent written and verbal communication abilities, and strong team-working skills. Alongside this, you will have an interest in people leadership, and ideally be able to demonstrate experience in leading small teams and growing those around you; however, we welcome applications from those looking for their first leadership exposures. You will have a BSc (or higher) in Statistics or Mathematics and a strong working knowledge of SAS.

Witney is located about 12 miles to the west of Oxford, on the edge of the Cotswolds. As you will be working closely with colleagues from R&D, clinical, data management and regulatory affairs, you will need to be office-based.

Abbott offers a highly competitive salary and attractive benefits package which includes a defined-contribution pension scheme, a share ownership scheme, private healthcare, life assurance, and a flexible benefits scheme which you can tailor to your own requirements. Here at Witney, we also like to help our employees live life to the fullest, and therefore we offer a range of optional initiatives for you to get involved in, including onsite allotments, couch to 5k campaigns, bee keeping, yoga and more!

The base pay for this position is N/A. In specific locations, the pay range may vary from the range posted.
