Dr.
Shanshan Zhao (www. niehs. nih. gov/research/atniehs/labs/bb/staff/zhao/index. cfm). A Staff Scientist 1 is an NIH employee generally appointed to a time-limited, renewable position, similar to that of a non-tenure track research faculty at many universities.
Staff Scientists do not receive independent resources, but often work independently and have sophisticated skills and knowledge essential to the work of the group. Staff Scientists should be capable of independently designing studies, but do not have responsibilities for initiating new research programs. Appointees may be U. S. citizens, resident aliens, or non-resident aliens with, or eligible to obtain, a valid employment-authorization
visa. The group employs a dynamic approach by integrating statistical methodological developments and collaborative population-based studies to reveal the social and physical determinants for health outcomes, with a focus on time-to-event data in cancer and environmental epidemiological studies.
The primary responsibilities of the successful candidate will be to: 1) Lead scientific activities in developing powerful statistical methods for population-based epidemiological studies. Specific research areas include but are not limited to time-to-event and longitudinal data, risk backssment and prediction, and environmental mixtures analysis; 2) Provide statistical support on new and established
projects in the group; 3) Serve as a resource for knowledge of statistical methods developed by the group for collaborators and trainees.
Required Qualifications The successful candidate will have a strong background in statistical theory and computational skills. They need to be skilled in oral and written communication, statistical programming with R and other languages such as Python, Matlab, C/C++, and have proven experience working productively with multidisciplinary teams. Experience with time-to-event outcomes, longitudinal data, cancer and environmental studies is desirable. Candidates should have a doctoral degree in biostatistics, statistics, or a closely related field with demonstrated biostatistical experience.
For additional information, contact Dr. Shanshan Zhao, Principal Investigator, Biostatistics and Computational Biology Branch ( ). Benefits The successful candidate for this position will be appointed at a salary commensurate with experience and accomplishments with full federal benefits, including leave, health and life insurance, retirement, and savings plan (401k equivalent).
