Co-Op, Biometrics

The Role

This is a co-op opportunity based in Cambridge MA from January 18 2027 June 25 2027. Applicants must be available for the full duration of the co-op term.

The Statistical Innovation & Data Analytics (SiDA) team is advancing AI-enabled statistical and clinical data solutions to accelerate data-drivaen decision-making improve operational efficiency and strengthen regulatory readiness across clinical development programs.

This role provides hands-on experience at the intersection of statistics clinical data science and AI engineering with opportunities to work on:

• Clinical and statistical data analytics including EDC SDTM ADaM and translational data
• AI/ML research and applied statistical modeling for clinical development use cases
• LLM and agentic AI development including domain-specific agents tool integration retrieval and workflow orchestration
• Local and domain-specific model post-training evaluation and optimization for statistical and clinical applications
• AI-assisted statistical programming and analytics exploring opportunities to automate and augment existing biometrics workflows
• Scalable and governed AI solutions transitioning promising prototypes toward production-oriented applications that meet clinical data security quality and compliance requirements

The student will contribute to the design development evaluation and implementation of AI-enabled capabilities that support statisticians statistical programmers data scientists and clinical development teams.

The role is particularly suited for students interested in going beyond general-purpose AI experimentation to understand how AI can be tailored evaluated and operationalized for statistical and clinical research workflows with the goal of reducing repetitive work accelerating time to insight and enabling more agile use of clinical data.

Heres What Youll Do

• Develop and evaluate AI/ML and agentic solutions for clinical data analysis statistical programming and workflow automation including tool-calling RAG and skill-based agent architectures.
• Explore LLM post-training adaptation and evaluation approaches to improve model performance for statistical and clinical research use cases.
• Design agentic workflows with appropriate human oversight traceability and reproducibility for use in regulated clinical development environments.
• Build scalable and modular AI pipelines that integrate clinical statistical and translational datasets.
• Develop interactive data visualizations dashboards and analytical applications to accelerate clinical insights and decision-making.
• Collaborate with statisticians statistical programmers data scientists and scientists to translate clinical and business needs into practical technical solutions.
• Explore opportunities to automate and augment the clinical data lifecycle including data processing analysis QC interpretation and reporting.
• Contribute to documentation evaluation validation considerations and reusable AI capabilities that can scale across studies and programs.

Heres What Youll Bring to the Table (Preferred Qualifications)
