The role reports to the VP Data and Information Systems and emphasizes experimental design, rigorous statistics, and cross-functional collaboration with process engineering, chemistry, biology, and biotech teams to accelerate product development.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's in Statistics, Biostatistics, Chemical Engineering, Bioinformatics, Cheminformatics, or related fields with 5-8 years of experience, or a PhD with 3-5 years of experience.
• Strong grounding in frequentist statistics (DOE, ANOVA, regression); familiarity with Bayesian methods a plus.

• Robust Statistical Analysis: Perform ad hoc statistical analysis on novel experiments, applying frequentist methods (ANOVA, regression, GLM) as the standard approach, with Bayesian methods where appropriate (e.g., small samples, sequential designs, incorporating prior data).
• Develop Analytical Pipelines: Develop standard analysis pipelines to ensure rigorous, reproducible results as projects advance.
• Develop Data Dashboards: Develop dashboards that allow key stakeholders to monitor processes and results in real time.
• System Integration: Develop processes to ensure data management is integrated with other support systems (LIMS, JIRA, etc)
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with technical and project leads across process engineering, chemistry, biology, and biotech to ensure data and data reports are available to the appropriate stakeholders.
• Documentation & Testing: Ensure all data packages and pipelines are documented and tested.
