[Hiring] Statistician/Psychometrician @IQVIA

Role Description

The Statistician/Psychometrician will be expected to:
• Empirically develop scoring rules & program scoring algorithms for existing COA measures.
• For instruments being added to IQVIA ILS library, generate standard scoring documentation, and program simulation datasets, Data Quality Evaluation (DQE), and scoring of domains on these datasets.
• Implement new statistical features in the random generation of data, to simulate real-world instrument data with certain psychometric properties.
• Implement new, more advanced statistical capabilities in user tools (Insights Hub, PROCore).
• Work cross-functionally with non-statisticians/psychometricians in the PACT and ILS & PASS teams.

Provide statistical support for the development of new COA measures & endpoints:
• Program and conduct classical and modern psychometric analyses.
• Program and conduct analyses of meaningful thresholds.
• Develop, validate, and score DHT-derived measures, and composite scores from multimodal data sources (COA + sensor-derived data).
• Process and model high frequency and continuous DHT data, including time series modelling.
• Collaborate with data scientists to support algorithm validation, and verification of digital measure performance across diverse datasets and devices.

Provide statistical support for the COA Accelerator (COAA) tool:
• Support the COA Accelerator team as a subject matter expert for statistics, psychometrics and scoring of COAs.
• Review COA Accelerator content in support of client subscriptions.

Support thought leadership activities:
• Participate in scientific thought exchanges both to develop self and to share relevant experiences with others.
