Job Summary
The Obstetrics & Gynecology Research Network has an opening for a Biostatistician III. This position provides statistical analysis and programming support for projects within the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at University of Utah Health.

Responsibilities
  • Assists in providing consultation to study investigators in the areas of protocol development, study design, analysis plan, sample size/power calculations, and interpretation of study data.
  • Assists in the preparation and submission of grants, manuscripts, and presentations.
  • Provides statistical analysis programming, including completion of descriptive and inferential analyses and the interpretation of results.
  • Reviews data for discrepancies, interact with data managers, and create analysis datasets.
  • Conforms to statistical programming and analysis standards.
  • In consultation with supervising or faculty statistician, seeks out opportunities to become involved in statistical leadership through teaching, supervision, mentoring, or developing own methodological research.
  • Must be able to perform the essential functions of the Biostatistician I and II positions.


Problem Solving
Employees frequently work on multiple tasks at one time and, as such, may have competing deadlines or time constraints. Level III Biostatisticians are expected to interact directly with internal and external customers in negotiating deadlines and completing work in a timely manner. Employees may encounter concerns about study design, statistical, or data issues in a project they are working on. Employees should seek to understand the issue and thoughtfully research any potential solutions. Employees may discuss these issues and concerns with the principal investigator on the project. If the concerns are not alleviated and the employee still feels that the issues will have a negative impact on the study or compromise the study results, these concerns should be discussed with the supervising statistician.
Employees are expected to actively expand their own knowledge and understanding of statistical methods and programming so that they have more tools available to independently complete any assigned tasks. If at any time the employee feels that a particular request or task reaches beyond their own understanding or expertise, they should work closely with a supervising statistician to ensure that the work provided is of the highest quality.
