Biostatistician. Biostatisticians lead Unlearn's work to integrate state-of-the-art ML approaches into the design and analysis of clinical trials. This can be everything from utilizing PROCOVA, a methodology we developed to add power and reduce sample size in phase 2 and 3 trials, to defining and conducting Bayesian or single arm analyses or innovating solutions for custom problems. Biostatisticians at Unlearn work closely with their counterparts at customers as well as broader clinical development teams. We highly value practical experience, the determination and autonomy to own projects end-to-end, and eager collaboration with an excellent and diverse team.
