Mathematical Statistician
The Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) Division of Biostatistics is solicit-
ing applications from well-trained statisticians with knowledge of biological applications. Several new positions are being
established that will offer the opportunity for biologic research and statistical collaboration in the development and evalu-
ation of cell, tissue, and gene therapies; blood and blood products; and preventive vaccines. The candidate may apply their
expertise in areas such as clinical trial design and analysis, laboratory data or bioassay analysis, or assay validation. Candi-
dates with interest or experience in current high-profile areas, such as adaptive trial designs or Bayesian approaches, will be
especially attractive.
CBER Mathematical Statisticians work in an environment dedicated to the public health and upholding the highest scientific
standards in research into new biological therapies and vaccines. Good written and oral communication skills are essential.
The successful candidate will interact extensively with other FDA reviewers, industry scientists, and scientists in other
government agencies and in academia. He or she will represent CBER at meetings and workshops focusing on methods and
policies for design and evaluation of clinical studies or pre-clinical /laboratory studies. CBER Mathematical Statisticians are
responsible for evaluating study designs and final results of studies assessing new biological products such as gene therapies,
vaccines, medical imaging products, immune therapies and many others. They are also responsible for assessing proposed
new design and analytical approaches, and for developing innovative approaches potentially better suited to a novel product.
They collaborate with medical colleagues and expert laboratory scientists on the development of scientific and regulatory
policy, and frequently have the opportunity to represent CBER in collaborations with outside groups.
