• Contribute to data summaries, research protocols, institutional review board (IRB) materials, and other research documentation.
• Translate complex analytical findings into clear, accurate, and actionable insights for clinical, technical, commercial, and executive audiences.

What you’ll bring

• Strong AI fluency, with the ability to design AI-enabled workflows, such as building or customizing agents others can use while maintaining accuracy, privacy, and human review.
• Graduate degree in a clinical field, epidemiology, biostatistics, public health, or a related field, such as Master of Science (MS), Master of Public Health (MPH), Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), or Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), with 5+ years of clinical research experience.
