    • Conduct analysis of human serology data (mixed effect models in SAS and R) in time sensitive manner for vaccine consultation meetings.
    • Write protocols describing in detail standard practices for the design, implementation, and presentation of statistical analyses of existing and proposed studies to be conducted by the Influenza Division or in collaboration with other national and international agencies.
    • Prepare technical and non-technical summaries of work, scientific reports, and manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed literature.
    • Advise and consult with regard to statistical methods and quantitative policy analysis to the Division's senior scientists and a variety of individuals, groups, and organizations working on influenza control and prevention at the national and international levels.
    • Use general knowledge of statistical methodologies to make recommendations or assist with data analysis for a range of Branch and Influenza.
    • Division projects, including but not limited to, disease surveillance systems, epidemiology studies, sampling design, studies of influenza vaccination or treatment modalities, and analysis of laboratory assay or genomic data.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • PhD in Statistics/Biostatistics or related field or MS Statistics/Biostatistics with 5+ years' experience
