IQVIA’s Center for Statistics in Drug Development (CSDD) Group is hiring! This is an exciting group that sits within IQVIA’s Core Services Research and Development Business Unit. Apart of the larger Biostatistics Team, this team is unique in its emphasis on helping clinical researchers to navigate the complexities of trial designs, endpoint selection, sample size estimation, analysis methods, data displays, and interpretations by applying deep statistical expertise. Our seasoned biostatisticians serve as statistical consultants, both internally and externally, and their early engagement helps identify gaps in the drug development strategy and in individual protocols — at the time of synopsis writing. Our expertise in design types include biosimilars, adaptive designs, dose-response designs, master protocols, Bayesian analyses etc.

As a Director, Biostatistics, you will serve as a thought leader in statistical methodology for clinical trial design.

You will lead that associated body of work as well as fulfil general consulting roles as needed. You may also be a member of data monitoring committees, either as blinded or unblinded statistician.
Our remit is trial and program design, along with associated analyses. Team members will help write protocol synopses for clients as part of a team which includes medical, pharmacokinetic, and operational experts. Occasionally we may contribute to full protocols and provide consulting in advanced statistical analyses.

Thought leadership is expected from team members, which includes publishing papers in peer-reviewed journals, referee, and editor work, presenting talks at scientific conferences, and participating in our by-invitation-only webinars. Management of people and projects is also possible depending on interest. Participation in bid defences is expected, as is some travel to clients.

Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in associate director of biostatistics jobs.
- Advanced degree in biostatistics or statistics, with a PhD preferred for director-level roles
- Five or more years of biostatistics experience in pharmaceutical or clinical research settings
- Proficiency in SAS and R for clinical data analysis and reporting
- Experience supporting Phase II or Phase III clinical trial design and analysis
- Knowledge of FDA regulatory submission requirements including ISS, ISE, and NDA packages
- Ability to lead or mentor junior biostatisticians and collaborate with cross-functional teams
Tips for Your Associate Director of Biostatistics Job Search
Tailor your resume to therapeutic areas
Hiring teams for associate director of biostatistics roles screen for specific therapeutic expertise, whether that's oncology, cardiovascular, or rare disease. Lead each resume version with the therapeutic area that matches the posting, not a generic summary that could fit any stats role.
Highlight regulatory submission experience explicitly
Many postings require NDA, BLA, or ISS/ISE contribution history. If you've supported an FDA submission, name the submission type, your contribution, and the phase. Vague references to 'regulatory experience' won't pass recruiter screening for director-level roles.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists associate director of biostatistics openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings by statistical software stack
Job descriptions split sharply between SAS-primary and R-primary environments. Filter your search by the language you use most fluently and confirm whether the team expects both. Applying to a heavy-SAS shop when your work is entirely in R creates friction in technical interviews.
Prepare a case study from your trial experience
Interviews for associate director of biostatistics positions routinely include a statistical methodology discussion. Have a specific trial or study ready where you made a design or analysis decision under regulatory or operational pressure, and be able to defend the statistical rationale in plain language.
Negotiate scope before title or seniority
At the associate director level, two offers with identical titles can mean very different things. Ask explicitly whether the role owns the statistical analysis plan, manages a team, or sits on cross-functional leadership committees. That scope difference matters more than title for your next move.
