About the role
From AfterQuery’s listing.
Pay: $115/hour
This is a remote, project-based role for biostatisticians, pharmacometricians and statistical geneticists with 3+ years of full time experience. You will author realistic biostatistics problems drawn from your work, covering trial design, survival analysis, dose response, or genetic studies, and work each one through to a reference answer that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. Work is fully async with no fixed hours, a minimum of 10 hours per week and no maximum, and you can scale up or down week to week. This is an independent contractor role with ongoing project work, paid weekly via Stripe, with no screen recording, keystroke monitoring, or idle timers. We are not looking for clinicians or wet lab scientists without a statistics role.
Responsibilities
- Author realistic biostatistics problems drawn from your work: trial design, survival analysis, dose response, or genetic studies
- Work each problem through to a reference answer, with the statistical reasoning behind every step
- Catch the methodological mistakes that look reasonable but only a practitioner would spot
Required qualifications
- Master's or PhD in biostatistics, statistics, epidemiology, statistical genetics or pharmacometrics
- 3+ years full time in a statistical role (internships and school don't count)
- Hands-on experience with clinical, epidemiological or genetic data
- Comfortable with R, SAS or Python for statistical analysis
- Strong written English and able to explain an analysis clearly
- Able to commit at least 10 hours per week
Preferred qualifications
- Experience designing trials, running survival or mixed models, building PK/PD models, or analyzing genetic association studies
