What you'll work on
- Provide statistical and epidemiological expertise on observational nutrition data. Analyze large cohort datasets, surveys, biobanks, digital biomarkers, consortium data and real-world data to generate insights for better nutrition, healthy ageing and prevention. Apply advanced techniques such as causal inference to address complex questions in nutrition and health.
- Support our multidisciplinary project teams in Human Nutrition and Care with your statistical know-how. This includes optimizing decision-making in all discovery and development phases of our nutrition and care products by designing robust experiments and analyzing data from clinical trials or consumer studies.
- Integrate and analyze data from diverse sources (e.g. combining evidence from observational studies and randomized trials) to perform meta-analyses and develop a comprehensive evidence base for product development and marketing claims in nutrition and care. Collaborate closely with bioinformaticians in the team who analyze related omics data.
- Optimize study design for human clinical studies or observational studies in collaboration with study directors and scientists, ensuring scientifically sound and statistically powered designs that can lead to robust results and actionable insights.
- Work closely and in a result-oriented manner with colleagues across disciplines – bioinformaticians, study directors, nutritionists, project managers, data managers, marketing teams, etc. – either as a core project team member or as an ad-hoc statistical consultant, to ensure data-driven decision making.
- Participate in external collaborations on a global scale (with universities, research institutes, industry partners, CROs, etc.) to stay at the forefront of nutritional research and statistical methodologies and to drive innovation in how we use data in nutrition and personal care research, e.g. regarding causal inference and target trial emulation.
- Oversee the outsourcing of data analyses to external partners and ensure that all analyses meet our quality standards and adhere to relevant guidelines and regulations.
- Work on a broad variety of projects and questions and handle competing priorities in a dynamic environment.
