About the Role

As an Analyst in our Statistics team you will work on projects involving the statistical analysis of clinical and health data as well as the communication of relevant methods and results to clients and the wider community.

Statistics projects involve analysing patient-level clinical trial data observational study data and real-world data as well as synthesising published aggregate data to answer particular questions about relevant treatments or therapeutic areas; for example whether one treatment is more effective than another in terms of a given outcome. When working as an Analyst on these projects you will work closely with Statisticians to plan analyses including carrying out detailed assessments of the feasibility of conducting statistical analyses determining appropriate methodologies and assumptions from a statistical and clinical perspective and writing up protocols. The role would then involve critically appraising statistical analyses interpreting the results of complex analyses and presenting these in written and oral formats to a variety of audiences including our clients healthcare professionals and reimbursement agencies such as NICE in the UK.

You will work in multidisciplinary project teams alongside experienced colleagues from across the company and will be provided with one-to-one training on the technical aspects of the role as well as on project management and effective client communication. Delivering project work requires close collaboration with clients and following a successful induction period you will increasingly participate in teleconferences and face-to-face meetings with external stakeholders.

Our Statistics team works on several projects at one time and the results of statistics projects can feed into publications value materials or Health Technology Assessment (HTA) submissions. You will therefore be exposed to a wide variety of the services offered by Costello Medical and a broad range of therapeutic areas.
