Biostatistics and Clinical Trials Advisor

Biostatistics and Clinical Trials Advisor

The Opportunity:

To achieve an organization’s mission, leaders need strong team members who can create processes, communicate requirements, and develop innovative solutions throughout the execution of the mission. Whether completing an immediate task, recognizing a process gap, recommending a solution, or flexing to support an immerging requirement, our clients need a consultant who can help manage operations while managing responses to external inquiries in a timely manner. That is why we need you, an experienced Biostatistics and Clinical Trials Advisor, to provide technical expertise and project development for emerging opportunities within healthcare.

As part of our team, you'll serve as a strategic technical consultant to the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), helping conceptualize, create, and execute advanced government-funded research and development programs to accelerate better health outcomes for everyone. Work with world-class scientists and engineers to support the development of high-impact solutions to society's most challenging health problems. Leverage technical expertise to provide strategic assessments of new technologies in support to senior ARPA-H decision makers. Maintain responsibility for producing and presenting findings and recommendations to a team of colleagues and clients on the feasibility and potential impact of future research programs, assisting with the management of current programs, and facilitating commercialization of successfully developed technologies. 

You'll serve as a Biostatistics and Clinical Trials Advisor helping clients to develop stakeholder management strategies, establish new business processes, and complete research and analysis to determine viable solutions. You will be responsible for managing incoming requirements, facilitating engagements within offices and across the Agency, and being readily available to shift your focus to fulfill emerging client requests. Your attention to detail, flexibility, communication skills, understanding of the client's mission, and problem-solving will enable the mission's success.

What You’ll Work On:

• Support strategy development and program execution for biostatistics, clinical trials, artificial intelligence/machine learning for clinical trials, and computational modeling initiatives

• Offer deep technical insight into the design and evaluation of clinical trials, including innovative approaches such as adaptive, platform, digital twins, or in silico clinical trial simulations

• Advise on quantitative and statistical modeling for pharmacology, including Bayesian, frequentist, and empirical modeling approaches

• Evaluate the credibility and standards for computational and physics‑based models for drugs, biologics, and advanced therapeutics, such as Quantitative Systems Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic, or digital twin

• Coordinate with federal stakeholders and other interagency partners to support the development, evaluation, and transition of new drug clinical trial projects

• Evaluate the conceptual and technical soundness of research programs spanning biostatistics, clinical trials, artificial intelligence/machine learning for clinical trials, and computational modeling

• Assist in defining program goals, technical milestones, budgets, and performer expectations for high-impact scientific initiatives; conduct technical reviews of performer progress to ensure alignment with ARPA-H objectives

• Interact with clients, government officials, and other executives in various sectors

Join us. The world can't wait.
