** About the Role
** Our Statistics team provide statistical and analytical expertise across Costello Medical, devising statistical analysis plans and performing data analysis within R, Excel, STAN and BUGS software. They are also responsible for communicating the methodologies and results in both written and oral formats to drug and device manufacturers, doctors and reimbursement agencies such as NICE in the UK. The statistical analyses vary across patient-level clinical trial data, observational study (real-world) data, and published aggregate data.

Our work involves a range of techniques such as basic statistical analysis of individual patient data, regression analysis, survival analysis and Bayesian network meta-analysis using both standard and emerging methods.

You will work in project teams alongside colleagues from all specialities to ensure that statistics projects are completed to an exceptionally high standard, on time and in line with client expectations. You will receive training in the technical aspects of the role, project management skills and effective client communication. Delivering project work requires close collaboration with clients and, following a successful induction period, you will increasingly participate in client calls and face-to-face meetings with external stakeholders.

Some client meetings and congresses take place outside the UK, which presents opportunities for overseas travel.

Our team typically work on several projects at one time and the results of each analysis can feed into publications, value materials, health economic models or health technology assessment submissions. You will therefore be exposed to a wide variety of our service and a broad range of therapeutic areas.
