4. Develop comprehensive, 35+ item rubrics to evaluate AI agent performance with respect to methodological rigor and clinical reasoning.
5. Ensure all tasks reflect the complexity and depth of real-world biostatistics practice, avoiding simplified or textbook-style examples.
6. Collaborate with project stakeholders to ensure deliverables align with regulatory and scientific standards.

Preferred Qualifications

1. MS or PhD in biostatistics, statistics, or epidemiology.
2. 4+ years of experience in pharmaceutical, contract research, hospital, or academic medical contexts.
3. Demonstrated command of clinical study design, regulatory documentation, and observational research methodologies.
4. Advanced proficiency in R, Python, SAS, or Stata applied to real clinical or epidemiological datasets.
5. Strong attention to methodological detail, clinical interpretation, and regulatory sensitivity.
6. Experience preparing submission-ready deliverables for regulatory agencies (e.g., FDA, EMA) is a plus.
7. Excellent written communication skills and ability to author detailed grading rubrics and technical documentation.
