The Institut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC) is a Cambodian non-profit research institution established in 1953. IPC is a scientific research institution recognized as being of public utility, placed under the high patronage of the Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Cambodia and under the scientific and technical responsibility of Institut Pasteur.
Roles and Responsibilities:
- Statistical Analysis and Methodological Support
- Develop statistical analysis plans and perform data analysis using R, Stata, or other relevant software.
- Provide methodological leadership across epidemiological and clinical research projects, from study conception through final analysis and interpretation.
- Apply a broad range of statistical techniques including regression, survival analysis, mixed models, geospatial analysis and Bayesian approaches.
- Apply methods appropriate for clustered, hierarchical, repeated-measures, and correlated data structures.
- Analyze data from a wide range of study designs including population-based surveys, observational studies, longitudinal cohorts, case-control studies, clinical trials and routine surveillance systems.
- Design and analyze complex population surveys, including appropriate consideration of stratification, clustering, sampling weights, and survey design effects.
- Contribute to protocol development, sample size calculation, and study design refinement.
- Advise investigators on the selection of appropriate statistical methods and ensure alignment between research questions, study design, data structure, and analytical strategy.
- Develop strategies for handling missing data, including multiple imputation and appropriate sensitivity analyses.
- Assess model assumptions, goodness-of-fit, robustness, interactions, effect modification, and potential sources of bias.
- Plan and conduct sensitivity, subgroup, and robustness analyses where scientifically justified.
- Provide guidance on confounding control, causal diagrams, propensity score methods, inverse probability weighting, marginal models, or other causal inference approaches when appropriate.
- Advise on multiple testing, multiplicity, interim analyses, and statistical inference where relevant.
- Contribute to the design and validation of prediction, prognostic, diagnostic, and risk models where appropriate.
- Ensure methodological rigor and validity of findings throughout the research process.
- Team Supervision and Capacity Building
- Supervise and mentor Cambodian and international junior biostatisticians and data analysts within the Epidemiology and Public Health Unit.
- Coordinate and strengthen the skills of the data analysis team, fostering autonomy and high-quality outputs.
- Deliver theoretical and hands-on training sessions in biostatistics and epidemiological methods for staff from other IPC units and contribute actively to teaching activities in national and international courses, including at the University of Health Sciences of Cambodia.
- Support long-term capacity building through mentorship, supervision of junior staff, and promotion of good statistical practices.
- Review and validate statistical analyses performed by team members and collaborators, ensuring high-quality standards across all projects.
- Scientific Communication and Collaboration
- Communicate advanced statistical concepts and results clearly to multidisciplinary audiences, including scientists, clinicians, public health officials, and policy stakeholders.
- Contribute to the preparation of scientific publications, technical reports, grant proposals, and oral presentations at national and international conferences.
- Work in close collaboration with Principal Investigators, data managers, and project teams to support analytical needs across IPC’s research portfolio.
- Contribute to regular strategic and technical exchanges with key national and international partners including institutes within the Pasteur Network and the Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases Unit at Institut Pasteur in Paris.
Key Requirements (skills, knowledge experience & qualification):
Qualifications:
- PhD in Biostatistics, Statistics, Mathematics, Epidemiology, Data Science or a related field.
- Minimum 5 years of experience in applied biostatistics in research in epidemiology, public health or clinical settings.
- Strong expertise in statistical software and programming languafes (e.g. R, Stata, Python).
