The position

You will be part of the team of statisticians and statistical programmers working on early phase clinical projects within liver disease.

In your daily work you will be directly involved in the trial conduct of several early-phase clinical trials. Alongside that, an important part of your responsibilities will be to mentor less experienced colleagues and ensure overall progress of the early phase projects. Within Biostatistics you will be working closely with the international project statistician who has the overall scientific responsibility for our deliverables.

You will take active part in protocol development including trial design, endpoints, estimands and sample size. Furthermore, you will be responsible for writing and clearly communicating the statistical analysis plan for the clinical trials and assisting the implementation of the statistical programming.
Ensuring alignment across the early liver disease projects will also be an important part of your tasks.

Following trial completion, you will be responsible for interpreting and presenting the results as well as supporting colleagues, ensuring they understand and adhere to relevant processes.

You will have a close collaboration with e.g. medical specialists, clinical pharmacology, pharmacometrics. It is therefore important that you clearly communicate statistical concepts and ideas to all our stakeholders.

***The position will be based in either Søborg or Aalborg.***

Qualifications

The ideal candidate has:

a strong background in mathematics and statistics
+5 years of experience within clinical or biostatistical research
experience from a pharmaceutical company

It will be a strong advantage if you have experience within:

early phase trials and / or the field of liver disease

project management and supervision of colleagues
R, SAS or other programming languages

On a personal level, you are open, curious, and solution oriented.
