Learn more at The Forum for Collaborative Research (FCR or Forum) is a multi-stakeholder initiative focused on advancing the regulatory sciences for the treatment of MAFLD/MASH, PSC, liver fibrosis, HBV, HIV, TAVI, and Ocular Diseases. The Forum brings together experts in transplantation medicine, infectious diseases, virology, immunology, and diagnostics from academia, regulatory agencies, industry, and professional societies to discuss, deliberate, and generate consensus on issues such as disease definitions, standardization of diagnostic approaches, and clinical trial design. The Forum's Data and Analysis Center (DAC) provides a curated repository of clinical data and an innovative set of analytical tools to facilitate answering critical questions of drug safety and efficacy in novel, cost-effective ways that will reduce time and cost of drug evaluation while maintaining or enhancing the scientific basis of that evaluation. The DAC also works to translate and disseminate new knowledge through convening opportunities to discuss "Innovation in Data Use and Analysis" for Forum stakeholders including, academia, regulatory agencies, industry, patient organizations, and professional societies to share lessons learned and provide opportunities for cross-comparison of analytic approaches and a framework for training in novel analytic approaches in a disease specific context.Position SummaryThis position will be part of the DAC and its working title is a Sr. Clinical Statistical Programmer. This position will work to incorporate and harmonize different formats of clinical trial data from Forum Partners. These data will then be used to develop novel statistical methods and analyses for use in biomedical and public health projects. The Forum DAC's Sr. Clinical Statistical Programmer will support clinical data standardization, analysis dataset creation, and preparation of submission-ready deliverables required for regulatory review. Specifically, this position provides programming using SAS and thorough documentation to import and harmonize clinical trial data into Clinical Data Interchange (CDISC) compliant, Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM), and create Analysis Data Model (ADaM) datasets. The Programmer will align these datasets with existing harmonized database structure and comply with the latest regulatory standards (e.g., Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or European Medicines Agency (EMA . The Programmer will also work in a high-performance computing (HPC) environment (e.g., Amazon Web Services), and will need to have experience working in a highly secure computing environment and complying with domestic and international data security needs. As a member of the Forum's DAC, the Programmer is also responsible for working across the different forum and disease areas as needed by applying professional concepts, policies, and procedures to resolve a variety of moderately complex issues.
