Discover Impactful Work: 

The Biostatistician will work under the mentorship of a Biostats Lead to implement statistical analysis plans (SAPs) involving complex longitudinal registry data available in several autoimmune disease areas. This individual will help to prepare appropriate analytic summaries and context for reports and publications.

The CorEvitas Biostatistics team at Thermo Fisher Scientific is comprised of three key focus areas: query work, pharmacovigilance (PV), and registry coordination.   

With query work, we design, analyze and report on research projects, aka queries, with our clients to produce publications for the public domain (e.g. abstracts, posters, podium presentations, manuscripts, etc.).   

For our pharmacovigilance (PV) work we design studies, analyze data, and develop reports to provide real-world evidence regarding drug safety. Often our work is centered on long-term post authorization safety studies (PASS), and we partner with our pharma clients to support FDA, EMA, and other regulatory commitments.   

Within our registry coordination team, we work cross-functionally with the Engineering, Clinical Data Management and Project Management teams on all the registry data, taking into account client requests from our query and PV work.
