Qualifications
- Preferred experience with software and ability to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary environment.
- Advanced statistical methods (e.g., multilevel modeling, latent/class cluster analysis, regression-based methods) and familiarity with machine learning techniques.
- Proficiency in basic and advanced statistical analyses in clinical or epidemiological research.
