About the position

Albert Einstein College of Medicine is currently seeking a Masters-level biostatistician to join the Research team within the Departments of Surgery and Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery. This position is crucial for developing and collaborating with investigators on studies that focus on emerging surgical technologies and the evaluation of surgical techniques, devices, and their subsequent outcomes. The biostatistician will play a key role in managing, analyzing, and reporting various types of data, including epidemiological, clinical, laboratory, and electronic health records data. In this role, the successful candidate will work closely with faculty, fellows, and residents, providing essential assistance on grant proposals, academic papers, and presentations. The biostatistician will be responsible for conducting statistical analyses of research data, which will be used for publications, grant proposals, regulatory reports, and presentations in collaboration with investigators. Additionally, the position involves facilitating the preparation of conference abstracts, developing manuscripts for publication, and assisting in the preparation of grant proposals. The biostatistician will also assist the Principal Investigator (PI) with troubleshooting by running analyses, cleaning, and preparing datasets.
