one of the two areas (or both): (1) longitudinal data analysis and (2)
analytics of healthcare big data using data mining techniques. Candidates

needed, to collaborate with the clinicians to conduct research on clinical
trials and translational science.
Position Qualifications: The candidate should have a doctoral degree in
statistics, biostatistics, economics, computer science, biomedical
informatics, or other related fields. Preference will be given to the
candidates who have experiences in (1) complex random-effects models and/or
(2) statistical learning and data mining. However, candidates that work in
other areas are also encouraged to apply. Strong computational skills in SAS
or Python evidenced by previous research experiences and publications are a
plus. Candidates with postdoctoral academic experiences are particularly
encouraged to apply the position.
