Working in a rapidly expanding business, you will be consistently challenged to partner with Flatiron colleagues and lead the analytical strategy to answer important questions in cancer research.

Who You Are

You are excited by the prospect of rolling up your sleeves to tackle meaningful problems each and every day. You are a kind, passionate and collaborative problem-solver who seeks and gives candid feedback, and values the chance to make an important impact. 

  • You hold a PhD (or equivalent) in a quantitative discipline such as biostatistics, epidemiology, applied statistics, health economics, or a related discipline
  • You have expertise in outcomes research, with a strong publication record
  • You have experience collaborating with researchers in the life science industry, academia, or government agencies
  • You are a natural teacher; you have a passion for mentoring and teaching those of various backgrounds and levels of experience
  • You are flexible and adapt well to complex challenges
  • You have the ability to juggle multiple external interactions and deadlines simultaneously and the adaptability to collaborate with individuals at all levels and functions

  • You are willing to travel (approximately 10-20%)

If this sounds like you, you'll fit right in at Flatiron.
