Biostatistics Expert
$115/hr
About this role, in AfterQuery's words
This is a remote, project-based role for biostatisticians, pharmacometricians and statistical geneticists with 3+ years of full time experience. You will author realistic biostatistics problems drawn from your work, covering trial design, survival analysis, dose response, or genetic studies, and work each one through to a reference answer that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. Work is fully async with no fixed hours, a minimum of 10 hours per week and no maximum, and you can scale up or down week to week. This is an independent contractor role with ongoing project work, paid weekly via Stripe, with no screen recording, keystroke monitoring, or idle timers. We are not looking for clinicians or wet lab scientists without a statistics role.
