Research Associate in Geriatrics (Yale University )

Position: Biostatistician – Program on Aging Location: Yale University, Department of Internal Medicine Application Link: http://apply.interfolio.com/156357 Position Summary: To provide expertise in the design, analysis, and interpretation of ongoing and planned observational studies, clinical trials, and basic research in human aging within a highly productive geriatrics research center. Research Track Expectations: This is a collaborative position. Within three years, all salary support is expected to come from supporting grants and projects from other individuals and projects within the Department of Internal Medicine, other Yale departments, YCAS, or external contracts and sub-awards. Promotion will be contingent upon excellent performance of all stated duties as stipulated in the Research Track. Principal Responsibilities: Independently propose biostatistical designs and analytical strategies for observational and interventional research at the Program on Aging. Perform comprehensive statistical analyses for longitudinal observational studies, clinical trials, and basic research experiments, often handling several studies simultaneously. Assist faculty and collaborators with appropriate statistical methods, sample size requirements, and research methodologies during grant preparation. Aid investigators in writing research grant applications, particularly methods sections related to data collection, verification, analysis, and interpretation. Communicate findings orally and in written reports to a diverse group of investigators.
