Biostatistician

💊 Health

Biostatisticians with no previous work experience typically begin their careers in entry-level positions, assisting more experienced Biostatisticians. With a couple of years of experience, Biostatisticians may be ready to enter mid-level roles performing tasks such as analyzing assigned sets of data independently. The most senior member of the biostatistics team is the Principal Researcher. This individual typically needs at least three to five years of experience working in the field and is responsible for directing the activities of the team. When writing your biostatistics job description, consider the makeup of your existing team to determine whether you need an entry-level, mid-level or principal Biostatistician.
