Statistician II

As a mid-size Contract Research Organisation (CRO), Veramed prides itself on two key areas: providing the highest quality statistics and programming consultancy for its clients, and giving its employees industry leading working environment, support and development for growth. We don’t believe in a universal model for  Statisticians, which is why you’ll find the unique responsibilities, daily interactions and opportunities for each Statistician type we’re hiring for, such as a ‘Delivery’ Statistician or a ‘Project Manager’ Statistician.

Due to the experience levels expected as a Statistician II, you will likely suit being a Delivery Statistician before expanding to other types or a mix of each as your career grows. Understanding each Statistician type will give you a good idea of how you might like to build your career and expertise.

At its core, the role of the Statistician II is to provide statistical support to the statistics and programming department across a range of projects, clients and therapeutic areas. More information can be found on our Statistician careers page.

Minimum requirements as a Statistician II:

  • MSc or PhD in Statistics/Biostatistics (or equivalent).
