Position Summary: 

Ready to make a meaningful impact in oncology from day one? This is a highly visible, hands-on role in designing, analyzing, and interpreting clinical trials that advance cancer therapeutics. This role is ideal for a highly motivated early-career biostatistician with a passion for applying statistical rigor to real-world oncology breakthroughs. You'll play a central role in supporting pivotal studies, including contributing to a Biologics License Application (BLA) for our lead immunotherapy candidate. 

Reporting directly to the Senior Director of Biostatistics, you’ll gain mentorship and early ownership of high-impact work in a collaborative, lean team environment. You’ll thrive in a culture that values initiative, growth, and scientific integrity. If you're looking for real responsibility, real mentorship, and real impact—this is your moment. 

What You Will Do: 

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (clinical, regulatory, data management, programming) to design and analyze clinical trials. 

  • Contribute to the development of statistical analysis plans (SAPs), including endpoints, estimands, and interim/final analysis strategies. 

  • Perform statistical analyses using SAS or R and interpret results in the context of clinical relevance. 

  • Support regulatory submissions (e.g., IND, NDA, BLA) and respond to health authority queries. 

  • Participate in protocol development, case report form (CRF) design, and data review activities. 

  • Ensure compliance with IBCH-GCP, CDISC, and internal SOPs. 

  • Present statistical findings to internal stakeholders and external collaborators. 

What You Will Bring: 

  • PhD in Biostatistics, Statistics, or related field (MS with strong experience may be considered). 

  • 1–2 years of experience managing clinical trials in the pharmaceutical, biotech, or CRO industry. 

  • Experience in oncology clinical trials is strongly preferred. 

  • Proficiency in statistical programming (SAS required; R a plus). 

  • Familiarity with regulatory guidance (FDA, EMA) and industry standards (CDISC, ICH). 

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills. 

Preferred Attributes: 

  • Experience with adaptive trial designs, survival analysis, or Bayesian methods. 

  • Exposure to early-phase oncology trials or biomarker-driven studies. 

  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
