About us
Precision Analytics is a startup based in Montreal, Canada, specializing in health data science. We harness the latest techniques in data science as tools for faster, better decision-making in the fields of biopharmaceuticals, health, and life sciences. We combine high-level analytics with thoughtful automation to provide fast, actionable insights from data. Our software solutions combine all three pillars of data science: data infrastructure, analytics, and communication.
As a company, we’re excited to continue building our talented team, forging relationships with organizations doing cutting-edge research, and solving challenging problems together. Our clients are working to solve exciting scientific problems, from innovative cancer research to scaling production of cannabis pharmaceuticals.
Specific technical qualifications include
- Theoretical and applied background in statistics, including generalized linear models
- Demonstrable knowledge of study design and research ethics
- Experience with statistical analysis (e.g., analysis of real data, report writing)
- Ability to write robust code in a statistical programming language (preferably R)
- Experience generating data visualisations and automated reports (e.g., ggplot2, R Markdown)
- MSc in epidemiology or biostatistics
Required non-technical skills
- Ability to work both independently and in a team
- Outstanding analytical, communication, storytelling and problem-solving skills
- Accurately interpret statistical results and concepts
- Ability to work on multiple tasks under tight timelines
- Experience collaborating with non-technical collaborators and stakeholders
Nice-to-haves
- Industry experience or relevant internships
- Expertise with dashboard development using Shiny
- Familiarity with software development practices (version control, Jira, testing, documentation)
Most critically, the right candidate is excited to work for a small startup, which will include wearing many hats, doing a variety of tasks in a fast-paced environment, collaborating with software developers and statisticians, and interfacing with clients and collaborators. Come work with us if you like participating in multiple projects at once, enjoy working closely with the end user of your work, and know when a bar plot is more appropriate than a sophisticated statistical model.
What we offer
- An opportunity to use your talent to empower ground-breaking research
- An environment in which you can continually learn and grow
- An annual professional development budget
- Competitive benefits (health & dental)
