The Biostatistics Center is a leader in the statistical coordination of major medical research programs of national and international scope. Visit our website at: .

The Biostatistics Center invites applications for a Postdoctoral Associate appointment for development and application of statistical methods and software for benefit:risk methodologies in clinical trials, observational studies, and diagnostic studies with applications to antibiotic resistance and other areas of medicine. Specific areas of focus will include benefit:risk evaluation using the desirability of outcome ranking (DOOR), partial credit, sequential multiple-assignment randomized trials for comparing personalized antibiotic strategies (SMART COMPASS), and benefit:risk evaluation for diagnostics: a framework (BED-FRAME). The position will be under the joint supervision of Professor Scott Evans and Professor Toshimitsu Hamasaki.

Postdocs will design, organize and conduct specialized and advanced experiments using established scientific protocols, troubleshoot and design new protocols, summarize findings and publish results in research journals, under the general supervision of a faculty member. In some cases, postdocs will assume general responsibility for general scientific operations in the lab, and/or provide supervision and guidance to laboratory staff, trainees and other researchers.

The Postdoctoral Associate will:

* Develop and apply statistical methods, and software for design, monitoring, analysis and reporting of clinical trials using benefit:risk methodologies, and using personalized antibiotic strategy designs
* Collaborate with biostatistics and medical colleagues

* Write scientific articles and research proposals
* Performs other duties as assigned. The omission of specific duties does not preclude the supervisor from assigning duties that are logically related to the position.

A Postdoctoral Associate:

* holds a PhD or equivalent degree;

* develops skills by participating in scholarly projects that are actively mentored by a member of the university faculty;

* receives financial support in the form of a salary that is typically funded by grants, contracts or departmental funds secured by a faculty mentor; and

* has a limited term of up to five years at GW.

In collaboration with experienced researchers, this role will participate in the planning and conduction of discovery research, data analysis and interpretation, preparation of materials for publication, presentations at conferences and meetings, and may develop new theories and methodologies. This role can expect timely advice as to research directions and career planning for a future independent career.
