Job Summary

We are seeking a motivated and curious Statistical Programming Intern to join our team from July – December 2026. If the co-op is available in July, we would like them to start early and work for part of the summer as well as the defined co-op term from September-December. In this role, you will contribute to the development of internal workflows and tooling that help modernize analytical codebases across SAS, R, and Python, with a particular focus on using AI-assisted development tools to improve translation, testing, and workflow efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to internal workflows and tools that help us translate and modernize analytical code between SAS, R, and Python.

• Read and reason about existing SAS programs — understanding the business logic, statistical methods, data transformations, and workflow structure — and help translate them into modern equivalents.

• Help design, test, and refine AI-assisted and agentic workflows for code translation, validation, and quality checking. You'll work alongside the team on internal projects first, with the chance to contribute to client-facing work as you ramp up.

• Validate that translated code is correct — comparing outputs against the original, checking edge cases, cleaning logs, and documenting how you know the translation is faithful. This validation discipline is the heart of the work.

• Work with senior consultants to document patterns, write up translation approaches, and contribute to knowledge-sharing within the team — through demos, internal walkthroughs, or written documentation.

What You Bring

• Currently enrolled in a university program in third year or above in Applied Statistics, Data Science, Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a closely related field.

• Fluent in R for data work — idiomatic tidyverse to wrangle, join, reshape, and derive variables, with clear reasoning about the statistical operation behind each step.

• Comfortable across R's idioms – vectors, data frames / tibbles, factors, dates, and at least one class from S3/S4/R6. You produce analysis ready tables and graphics.

• Hands on experience with interactive data analysis is plus such as Shiny and plotly

• Comfortable with reproducible analysis — Git for version control, Quarto or R Markdown

• Knowledge of SAS is an asset, but we don't expect you to walk in with deep SAS experience. We expect you to be curious about it with a genuine willingness to learn SAS on the job.

• Exposure to clinical data context is a plus — CDISC SDTM/ADaM or pharmaverse packages

• Exposure to AI-assisted coding tools (Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) and an interest in using them thoughtfully as part of a development workflow.

• Some experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, or building automated workflows

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work through ambiguity in a hands-on, fast-paced technical environment.

• Good written and verbal communication — comfortable explaining your work to teammates, asking questions, and writing things down clearly.

Strongly preferred

• Working knowledge of Python is a plus — translation work involves all three languages, and bilingual R+Python candidates ramp fastest.

• Hands-on experience with SAS — even at the coursework level. Reading SAS, working with PROC steps and DATA steps, or having translated SAS code before.

• Interest in regulated industries (pharma, clinical research, life sciences, financial services) where statistical programming and code quality really matter.
