Translate clinical and preclinical project questions into clear analytical tasks, approaches and deliverables.
Apply strong mathematical expertise in signal processing, probability and statistics to develop and evaluate robust algorithms.
Prepare, explore and analyse experimental and associated clinical datasets, investigating quality issues and inconsistencies.
Implement and evaluate statistical and machine learning methods appropriate to the question and available data.
Take ownership of unresolved analytical problems, diagnose their causes and develop practical solutions.
Produce reproducible code, analyses, visualisations and documentation that colleagues can review and reuse.
Apply appropriate validation procedures and communicate uncertainty, limitations and alternative interpretations.
Work with colleagues from other teams and disciplines to interpret findings in their experimental and clinical context.
Collaborate with specialist Data Scientists to apply new methods within project workflows.
Support reports, publications and project milestones through clear, timely analytical contributions.
Who we are looking for
You are a practical problem solver who enjoys moving from an abstract question to a working solution. You can understand an existing analysis, identify what is preventing progress and take responsibility for resolving it.
You bring mathematical discipline, strong implementation skills and a collaborative approach. You are comfortable working in an evolving environment while keeping your work structured, reproducible and focused on the project’s needs.
Qualifications
Degree in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics or a related quantitative discipline, supported by relevant applied experience.
Professional experience delivering Data Science or quantitative analysis projects from problem definition through implementation.
Strong scientific programming skills and the ability to write clear, maintainable analytical code.
Practical knowledge of statistics, machine learning, data preparation and model evaluation.
Ability to investigate unfamiliar datasets, troubleshoot analytical workflows and assess whether results are credible.
Experience managing your own deliverables and communicating progress, dependencies and findings.
Experience in a startup or another environment requiring ownership and adaptability is particularly valuable.
Experience analysing biomedical, clinical or experimental data is advantageous.
The opportunity
Make a visible contribution to iLOF’s scientific programmes by solving difficult analytical problems and delivering work that colleagues can use to make decisions and advance projects.
