• Strong expertise in statistical modeling and data analysis, including descriptive and inferential statistics, regression analysis, experimental design, and statistical learning methods.

• Experience working with complex or ambiguous statistical guidelines, with the ability to interpret requirements accurately and apply consistent judgment.
• Willingness to learn new statistical methods, switch efficiently between topics, and handle intellectually challenging tasks.
• This is a fully remote freelance role — you only need a laptop, a stable internet connection, sufficient availability, and motivation to take on challenging statistical work.
