Biostatistician I

Combatting Immune Disease Through Data Analysis!Join our team to help fight immune diseases.

We need individuals to apply cutting edge statistical approaches to study the human immune system. We believe that understanding how the immune system functions both in health and in diseases like cancer and autoimmunity will lead to better patient care. We are looking for highly motivated and creative individuals who enjoy working in a multidisciplinary team-oriented environment to use statistical and computational approaches to discover new mechanisms biomarkers and therapies for immune-mediated biostatistician will integrate with two teams: 2) our Center for Systems Immunology a dynamic group of bioinformaticians immunologists and other data analysts and 2) the Center for Interventional Immunology to help design and analyze data from clinical research studies.

Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason (BRI) is an internationally recognized medical research institute committed to finding a cure for autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases through a combination of basic and translational research programs. This means you can contribute to scientific advances that have a direct impact on people with these diseases including type 1 diabetes rheumatoid arthritis multiple sclerosis allergies and asthma.

Submission of a cover letter is highly encouraged for this application.

The Biostatistician will apply biostatistics and statistics to the design execution analysis and interpretation of clinical research results and associated mechanistic studies. By adding statistical rigor to all phases of the experimental process the biostatistician supports the ability to draw significant interpretation from these experiments with confidence.

Biostatisticians will work most effectively at the project level so that they may be included from the earliest design phase overseeing statistically oriented details of the project from beginning to end. This will necessarily include collaborative interactions with investigators and researchers across the organization. Biostatisticians will be expected to manage and maintain large collections of experimental and clinical profiling data from both public domain and internal programs.

• Perform biostatistical analysis working with institute scientists including generating quality control and data output reports visualizations and publication-quality graphics where appropriate.
• Critically evaluate experimental design and generate statistical analysis plans.
• Work independently and collaboratively with all levels of institute researchers in a dynamic research environment to design and implement new immunological experiments.
• Participate in writing quarterly reports progress reports proposals and journal articles.
• Keep informed of cutting-edge ideas research and technology and apply them as appropriate.
• Educate institute scientists in biostatistics through open door consulting and classroom sessions.
• Attend and present data at external scientific meetings and conferences as appropriate.
• Meet established deadlines and milestones.
• Comply with health & safety procedures and practices.
• Perform other duties as required.

• Requires a bachelors degree in biostatistics healthcare statistics or other life science with a strong understanding of the principals of biostatistics and 0-3 years related experience. Masters degree preferred.

Benaroya Research Institute (BRI)has a bold mission: to advance the science to predict prevent reverse and cureimmune system diseases fromautoimmune diseasetocancertoasthmaandallergies. We create detailed pictures of the immune system in health and disease aiming to understand how disorders start and how to rebalance the immune system back to health. Equipped with innovative tools and robustbiorepositories our team chips away at the biggest mysteries behind these conditions to work toward our vision of a healthy immune system for is a nonprofit research institute based in Seattle and affiliated with Virginia Mason Franciscan collaborate with clinicians and patients to accelerate the path from innovative lab discoveries to life-changing patient care.

At BRI each individual is valued as an important contributor to our vision and mission. Consider making a difference by joining our team. Because together we arepowering possibility.
