ATTENTION BIOSTATISTICIANS!
Biostatisticians needed.
Description & Responsibilities:
Biostatistics combines the medical field with math, statistics, and science. Biostatisticians apply the principles of statistics to medical and public health research. Studies regarding new or experimental treatments, or links between various lifestyles and diseases for example, are typically based on data that is calculated by biostatisticians.
Biostatisticians design studies, gather data, and analyze it. Designing studies entails determining a sample size, figuring out how best to collect data accurately, and how to measure it. Sometimes they take rough data collected from other studies and "clean it up" to make it useful by editing out potentially erroneous information.
