Position Summary:

UNC COM seeks a collaborative, service-oriented faculty Biostatistician at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor to provide high-quality statistical and data-science expertise supporting the College's curriculum, faculty scholarship, and student outcomes, while also serving as a key contributor to accreditation analytics and institutional reporting. In this role, the Biostatistician will partner with Academic Affairs, assessment and curriculum leadership, faculty investigators, and student support teams to design and implement analytic strategies, ensure data integrity and governance, and translate findings into actionable insights that advance continuous quality improvement and strengthen compliance readiness.

Job Duties:

Academic Assessment, Curriculum & Learner Analytics
o   Design and implement analytic plans for course and program evaluation, including exam/item analysis, outcomes attainment, and longitudinal performance tracking across the preclinical and clinical curriculum.
o   Develop repeatable reporting processes and dashboards for curriculum committees and course directors (e.g., trend analyses, cohort comparisons, reliability/validity indicators, learning outcomes mapping analytics).
o   Support continuous quality improvement (CQI) by identifying data signals, quantifying impact of curricular changes, and recommending measurement strategies aligned to program outcomes.

Faculty Teaching & Educational Support Responsibilities
o   Teach and/or co-teach assigned content within the UNC COM curriculum, with primary focus on biostatistics, epidemiology, population health, and public/public health concepts (e.g., study design, probability, inference, regression, screening/test characteristics, bias/confounding, and interpretation of medical literature).
o   Develop and deliver learning activities (lectures, small groups, team-based learning, case-based sessions, workshops) that integrate statistical reasoning into clinical and population health decision-making.
o   Create and refine assessment items (quizzes, exams, OSCE/CPX adjuncts, assignments) aligned with course objectives and program competencies; contribute to blueprinting and standard-setting activities as needed.
o   Collaborate with course directors and curriculum committees to align biostatistics and population/public health content vertically and horizontally across the curriculum, ensuring appropriate sequencing, integration, and competency progression.

Accreditation Data, Compliance Reporting & CQI Infrastructure
o   Serve as a primary analytic resource for accreditation-related data requests and reporting (e.g., annual updates, self-study exhibits, evidence tables, outcomes dashboards), ensuring accuracy, traceability, and documentation.
o   Build and maintain an "accreditation evidence" data pipeline: standardized definitions, data dictionaries, audit trails, version control, and clear source of all submitted metrics.
o   Coordinate with institutional partners (Institutional Research, Registrar, IT, Student Affairs, Finance, HR) to compile, validate, and reconcile datasets used in accreditation and internal governance.

Faculty & Student Research Support (Consultation Model)
o   Provide statistical consultation to faculty and students for scholarly projects (study design, power/sample size, data management plans, modeling strategies, interpretation, and reporting).
o   Assist with IRB- and protocol-related analytic sections, including statistical methods narratives for manuscripts, abstracts, and grant submissions.
o   Promote reproducible research practices (analysis plans, code review, documentation standards, and appropriate use of statistical software).

Data Governance, Quality, and Operational Excellence
o   Establish and enforce analytic standards (naming conventions, reproducible workflows, secure data handling, and role-based access).
o   Create user-friendly templates (analysis request intake forms, study analysis plans, reporting calendars, and standard output formats).
o   Communicate findings effectively to non-technical stakeholders via concise narratives, visualizations, and executive summaries.

Minimum Qualifications:

o   Master's degree (or higher) in Biostatistics, Statistics, Data Science, Epidemiology, or a closely related quantitative discipline.
o   Demonstrated experience conducting applied statistical analyses in academic health sciences, higher education assessment, healthcare, or related settings.
o   Proficiency with statistical programming and best practices in reproducible analytics.
o   Demonstrated ability to translate complex analyses into clear, decision-relevant conclusions for diverse stakeholders.
o   Strong interpersonal skills; ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with appropriate prioritization and customer-service orientation.

Preferred Qualifications
o   Experience supporting accreditation, regulatory reporting, outcomes assessment, or CQI analytics (medical education experience strongly preferred).
o   Experience with psychometrics/educational measurement.
o   Experience designing dashboards and data pipelines using business intelligence tools.
o   Familiarity with learning management system (LMS) data, survey platforms, and student information systems; ability to integrate multi-source datasets.
o   Publication record and/or demonstrated history of collaborative scholarship and statistical consultation.
