Role Description We are seeking a highly organized Statistician to join our technical consulting team. While we operate in the field of radiation protection, this is primarily a computational and statistical role. You will be responsible for interpreting complex historical datasets, developing robust models, and communicating findings to high-level stakeholders. The ideal candidate thrives when presented with novel data and possesses the discipline to manage client expectations with clarity and professionalism. Note: This role is remote and requires U.S. citizenship.

• Novel Data Modeling:

Assess, clean, and analyze historical datasets to identify trends, biases, and exposure patterns.

• Statistical Support:

Able to analyze left-censored data.

• Strategic Client Communication:

• Methodology Development:

Design and implement data mining strategies to extract meaningful information from fragmented or inconsistent historical records.

• Interdisciplinary Collaboration:

Provide statistical support to a team of Health Physicists, ensuring that dose reconstruction models are statistically sound and defensible.

Qualifications

• Master’s in Statistics or Biostatistics, with a strong foundation in data analysis and mathematical statistics. (A Bachelor’s degree may be considered with exceptional professional experience).
• Minimum of 3–5 years in a dedicated statistical or data science role, preferably within a consulting or regulated environment.
• Programming Proficiency:

Advanced programming skills in R (required) or Python.

• Critical Adaptability:

Proven ability to apply statistical theory to "real-world" data that may not fit standard textbook models.

• Consulting Soft Skills:

Demonstrated ability to remain organized, proactive, and articulate when balancing client requests and project timelines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Domain Knowledge:

Familiarity with Health Physics, environmental monitoring, or radiobiology is a plus, but not required for a candidate with strong statistical fundamentals.

Prior experience working with U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) records systems or similar federal regulatory frameworks (AEC, ERDA).

• Dose Reconstruction:

Understanding of internal and external radiation exposure monitoring techniques.

• Security Requirements:
