Statistician (m/f/d)

We are looking for a motivated and committed Statistician for our client, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. based in Basel, for a 12 month assignment with the option to extend.

Our statisticians have been collaborating on synthetic molecule development and commercial manufacturing. Recently, there is an increased demand for statistician's support, especially when a few molecules are in the critical path of filing. Thus, we would like to open a contractor position to ensure our critical business. Given the location of collaborators in Basel, we would like to hire the contractor in Basel too.

• Support synthetic molecule development pipeline work, e.g. process characterization, process validation, process transfer, assay validation, assay transfer, shelf life study, etc.
• Support synthetic molecule commercial manufacturing, e.g. process monitoring, process troubleshooting and optimization, etc.
• Collaborate with other statisticians on method development and improvement

• Master's or Ph.D. in Statistics, Biostatistics, Mathematics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a closely related field
• Statistical Analysis: Advanced proficiency in statistical methods and software (e.g., R and JMP) for the design of experiments and data analysis (e.g. linear mixed models)
