Please kindly forward the following announcement to potential candidates. Best regards, Francesca Ieva ————————————————————————————————————————— *Junior Researcher position in Statistics * *Project title*: "Integration between study design and data analytics for generating credible evidence in the field of healthcare from heterogeneous sources of structured and unstructured data” ====================================================================== We are looking for a junior researcher (3 year contract, starting date is between Feb 2021 - March 2021) to join the research group of Applied Statistics working within the research plan between Politecnico and AstraZeneca. One key criticism of evidence-based medicine is that only a minority of patients benefits of even efficacious therapies, but all treated patients are exposed to the costs and potential harms of those therapies. As a result, the effect of any treatment is often uncertain in a specific patient. Personalized care and precision medicine are becoming the main perspectives for obtaining better health outcomes at sustainable costs. The activities will develop along these perspectives with particular focus towards integrating observational designs and big data analytics to obtain solid, reproducible evidence whose results are verifiable in terms of health and expenditure. To this end, the researcher will develop multiple lines of research on Health Analytics for monitoring the effect of innovative oncological drugs through Real World Data, in collaboration with highly qualified clinical research centers. The ideal candidate should have a background and skills in at least some of the following: - Data Science, Statistics, Health Economics, Applied Mathematics, Software/Mathematical Engineering. - Solid experience in the data management and data analysis with R, Python, Matlab or C++. - Working knowledge in at least one of the following topics: biostatistics, pharmacoepidemiology, applied statistics, health economics. The effort is of a collaborative nature so strong interpersonal and communication skills are required. Teaching for both statistics and medical programs will be required. Working language is Italian and English. **Deadline for applications** is *November 11th, 2020*.
