BACKGROUND

Uniquely positioned to enhance quality of life in aging, we are pioneering science that is rapidly being translated to the clinic. Our approaches utilize in vivo, proteomics, and molecular techniques to identify therapeutics and apply them to patients. We are seeking a highly motivated and driven scientist who will serve as the key biostatistics leader for Alkahest research. The role will be to lead, advise and assist in the statistical, data analysis, and informatics aspects of the setup, evaluation, and interpretation of large scale proteomics/biomarker and other biological studies. The studies will involve cutting edge science and require innovative concepts and strategies. They will be enabled by unique, high quality and technologically advanced datasets, allowing findings to push at the forefront of the field. The interpretation of such data is critical in advancing our therapeutic understandings and is pivotal to the company's mission. The role requires dedication to drive science, flexibility, excellent communication and organization. The position will require interaction with a team of scientists and research associates to drive multiple projects in parallel. We offer a competitive compensation package.
