[Hiring] Senior Biostatistician @PaceMate

Role Description

The Senior Biostatistician is PaceMate's first biostatistician. The role independently leads the statistical design, analysis, and reporting of PaceMate's clinical research, including internal quality and research studies and externally published work.

The role owns each study from analysis plan through peer-reviewed publication and response to reviewers, working directly with the Chief Medical Officer and PaceMate's clinical team. About a quarter to a third of the role applies the same methods to operational and business questions. Routine operational reporting and dashboards sit outside this role. AI-assisted tools are part of how this role works every day, and the role is accountable for validating every result they help produce. The position has latitude to shape its own workflow and a potential path to expanded oversight of research-related functions.

Qualifications

• PhD in biostatistics, statistics, or epidemiology; or a Master's in one of these fields with at least 8 years applying statistics to health data with clear independent ownership of analyses.
• Lead or methods statistician on peer-reviewed cardiovascular clinical research (electrophysiology, heart failure, cardiac devices, or closely related). General healthcare analytics experience alone is not sufficient.
• Peer-reviewed publication track record as a contributing statistician, including successful responses to reviewer critique.
• Command of the methods this data demands: linking many related tables; count and rate outcomes with exposure offsets; recurrent-event and time-to-event methods including competing risks; clustered and repeated-measures data; confounding control in observational data; non-random missingness and informative censoring.
• High proficiency in R across the full pipeline, including R Markdown or Quarto.
• SQL sufficient to query and join relational clinical tables.
• Reproducible practice by default: Git, dependency management (e.g., renv), scripted pipelines, and literate reporting.
• Ability to explain methods and limitations to physicians and to a manager who is not a statistician, and willingness to state clearly when the data cannot support a conclusion.
• Current, regular use of AI coding assistants in analytical work, with a consistent method for checking their output and protecting patient data.
• Interest in applying statistical methods to operational and business questions.

Requirements

• Infrequently, prepare IRB documentation, including determination requests and reliance materials.
• When requested, evaluate predictive models for discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness (decision curve analysis), including temporal and external validation (TRIPOD+AI).
