Biostatistician​/Modeler; Epidemiology

We are seeking a Biostatistician/Modeler who can develop statistical tools to analyze infectious disease dynamics. This project will focus on the use of various data sets (human behavior, genomics, serological status, and epidemiological information) to predict the spatial and temporal dynamics of vector-borne (malaria, dengue) and vaccine‑preventable (SARS‑CoV‑2, measles, rubella) diseases. The role requires developing, evaluating, and investigating statistical frameworks to understand disease transmission and ultimately inform public health policy.

The Biostatistician will analyze large‑scale, longitudinal data abstracted from electronic health records, laboratory and pharmacy databases, and patient‑reported outcomes surveys.

• Use and expand existing SAS and R programs to clean and organize incoming JHHCC and CNICS data.
• Identify potential problems with study data and collaborate with data managers to resolve issues.
• Read concept sheets and draft statistical analysis plans specific to research objectives.
• Generate analytic data sets, codebooks, and other documentation.
• Analyze individual‑level data to answer scientific questions of interest.
• Prepare data tables and figures for publication and presentation at scientific meetings.
• Contribute to technical/scientific writing and review drafts of concept sheets, reports, posters, and manuscripts, particularly descriptions of statistical methods and interpretation of results.
• Document decision making during conduct of studies and archive code for reproducibility of research findings.
• Navigate shared files and contribute to shared files to create a transparent research workspace.
• Assist with writing approach section of research proposals.
• Attend meetings and provide status updates on data processing and research projects.
• Use professional judgment in handling sensitive information.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Develop infectious disease transmission models in R, big data management, and model fitting.
• Write scientific manuscripts, public health reports, and scientific presentations.

• Master's Degree in Biostatistics, Epidemiology, or a related quantitative field.
• Additional education may substitute for required experience, and additional related experience may substitute for required education beyond a high school diploma/graduation equivalent, to the extent permitted by the JHU equivalency formula.

• Experience working on spatial transmission models.
• Knowledge of infectious disease epidemiology.
• Experience working on the epidemiology of vaccine‑preventable diseases.
• Experience in advanced biostatistical and mathematical methods and developing and using statistical models, particularly those related to vaccine‑preventable, vector‑borne diseases and/or general infectious disease epidemiology.
