Position Overview:

We are seeking a Data Reporting and Analytics Consultant to support clinical research initiatives focused on vaccines and infectious diseases. In this role, you will work with clinical research data to develop and maintain analytical programs, generate reports, and support research teams in answering important healthcare questions.

This is an excellent opportunity for an early- to mid-career professional with a background in biostatistics, epidemiology, public health, data science, or a related field who enjoys combining programming and analytical skills with meaningful healthcare research.

You will collaborate with experienced researchers and analysts, contribute to ongoing research projects, and help ensure that data and analytical results are accurate, reliable, and useful for research decision-making.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, maintain, and update analytical programs and reports supporting clinical research projects.
• Use SQL and R or Python to access, analyze, manipulate, and interpret research data.
• Apply statistical and analytical methods to support vaccine, infectious disease, and other healthcare research initiatives.
• Evaluate data and analytical results to identify inconsistencies, investigate unexpected findings, and ensure results make sense in the context of the research question.
• Collaborate with biostatisticians, epidemiologists, researchers, and other project team members to understand research objectives and deliver accurate, meaningful analyses.
• Support ongoing projects funded by pharmaceutical partners and government research organizations.
• Document analytical processes, communicate findings, and contribute to the development and maintenance of research programs.
• Manage assigned projects and competing priorities while meeting deadlines and maintaining high-quality work.
• Participate in onboarding and training, incorporate feedback, and continue developing technical and research expertise.
• Communicate proactively with team members, ask questions when challenges arise, and work independently in a remote environment.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in statistics, biostatistics, epidemiology, public health, data science, or a related field. A relevant master's degree is preferred.
• Proficiency in R or Python.
• Strong SQL skills and the ability to work with research or healthcare datasets.
• Experience or academic training in healthcare research, epidemiology, biostatistics, or a related research discipline.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, including the ability to evaluate data quality and determine whether results are reasonable.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to communicate analytical findings clearly.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently, and seek guidance when needed.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's degree in biostatistics, public health, epidemiology, data science, or a related field.
• Experience with SAS, particularly in a research or healthcare environment.
• Familiarity with Databricks, Posit Workbench, or similar analytical platforms.
• Experience supporting clinical research, epidemiological studies, vaccine research, or infectious disease research.
• Experience working with healthcare claims data or other clinical and healthcare datasets.
• Experience contributing to research manuscripts, publications, or scientific projects.
• Familiarity with pharmaceutical-sponsored research or projects funded by government agencies.

Work Environment and Schedule:

• Fully remote position.
• Candidates may be located anywhere in the United States for contract work, but must work PST hours.
• Candidates must reside in California to be eligible for potential conversion to an employee of the organization.
• The role requires self-direction, strong communication, and the ability to work productively with limited day-to-day supervision.
• Initial onboarding and training will be provided, with an expectation that team members will progressively work independently.

This position may begin as a contract opportunity, with the potential for conversion to a longer-term employee position based on performance, business needs, and available funding. Conversion is not guaranteed.

The team supports an ongoing pipeline of clinical research projects funded by pharmaceutical companies and government organizations, creating opportunities to contribute to meaningful research over time.
