I'm a retired academic with 30 years' experience in life-science research, education and publishing. So I understand your problem, as I've spent decades helping people just like YOU. Here’s how I can help with your scientific or medical project: –Literature searches, systematic reviews and meta-analyses –Experimental design and sample size estimation –Descriptive statistics and data visualization –Advanced multivariate modeling and hypothesis testing –Technical illustrations, graphical abstracts and flowcharts –Content editing for theses, articles, grants, fellowship applications and full-length books –Copy editing for grammar, logic, brevity, flow and adherence to academic citation styles –Fact-checking sources to root out false claims and hallucinated references –General coaching, strategizing and career development for life-science researchers at any career stage, whether you are a prospective graduate student, PhD candidate, postdoc or tenured faculty member. Everyone needs a helping hand from time to time. I can start from scratch or work with YOUR existing materials. I’m skilled with tools like PubMed, EndNote, Zotero, LaTeX, Prism, R Studio, Photoshop and Illustrator. For more advanced bioinformatics tasks, I use Expasy, GEO, NCBI, UniProt, and genome browsers like Ensembl and UCSC. As my postdoc advisor once said, "You can explain it to 100 people one at a time, or you can write a great set of instructions." So if you need a manual, protocol, or Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), I can help with that too. Using my deep experience writing clear instructions for labs and classrooms, I can cover every topic: experimental workflow, equipment maintenance, how-to guides or whatever might be your critical need. A little more about ME: I have a BA from Yale and a PhD from the University of Chicago. I led an NIH-funded research lab for 23 years and published 25+ peer-reviewed journal articles. I’ve reviewed over 50 scientific manuscripts and scored grants for the NIH, NSF, and DOD. As a full Professor I taught cell biology, histology, human development, ecology/evolution, epidemiology and statistics at university. In 2024 I semi-retired by starting my own scientific consulting company, offering fractional services to principal investigators, healthcare providers, biotech startups, scientific societies, health- and environment-focused non-profits, and independent entrepreneurs. And let's end with US. Because together, we might be unstoppable.

What does a Biostatistician do?

A biostatistician applies statistical methods to biological and clinical data to support study design, analysis, and interpretation. This role focuses on generating evidence for regulatory review and scientific publication rather than general data reporting. You define the statistical approach for endpoints and evaluate bioavailability or bioequivalence studies when applicable. Your work directly influences how clinical findings are understood by review teams and research stakeholders.

  • Author the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) that documents analysis methods, including tables, listings, figures, and procedures for analysis execution. This document serves as the primary guide for how data will be processed and ensures alignment between the study protocol and final analysis.
  • Analyze and interpret scientific data using specialized software such as SAS or WinBUGS to create statistical instruction sets. You produce analysis datasets in formats like SDTM and generate the tables, listings, and figures required for study reporting and regulatory submissions.
  • Package submission materials with statistical content in required formats such as eCTD for regulatory review. You review statistical analysis outputs for consistency with regulatory expectations and justify findings to ensure they meet statistical policies and guidance standards.

How to hire a Biostatistician on Upwork

Step 1: Post a job

Define your study design needs and statistical endpoints clearly to attract qualified candidates. Use the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI to draft a precise description in seconds. Describe your clinical trial phase or data analysis goals, and Uma builds a structured post for you. You can write a new post, update a saved draft, or reuse an existing post to save time.

  • Specify required proficiency with SAS programming and SDTM dataset standards for regulatory submissions.
  • List experience with Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) development for clinical studies.
  • Clarify if the role involves bioequivalence studies or public health data interpretation.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Look for portfolios that demonstrate rigorous statistical methodology and clear reporting of clinical results. Uma runs instant video interviews and builds shortlists with side-by-side comparisons to help you assess technical fit quickly.

  • Review samples of Tables, Listings, and Figures (TLFs) generated from previous clinical trials.
  • Check for documented experience aligning protocol objectives with final statistical outputs.
  • Verify familiarity with eCTD submission formats and regulatory guidance compliance.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Discuss specific analytical challenges and their approach to handling missing data in clinical datasets. Schedule and conduct interviews within Upwork Messages, which generates an immediate transcript and summary after each session.

  • Ask how they validate statistical programs against the approved Statistical Analysis Plan.
  • Discuss their process for documenting analysis decisions for regulatory audit trails.
  • Evaluate their ability to explain complex statistical findings to non-technical clinical teams.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Set clear milestones for SAP finalization, dataset creation, and top-line result generation. Use Upwork Messages and the contract workroom for all communication and project management tasks. Identity verification, payment protection, hourly tracking, and project funds add security to your engagement.

  • Define deliverables such as annotated case report forms and clean analysis datasets.
  • Establish timelines for interim analyses and final clinical study report statistics.
  • Agree on version control procedures for statistical code and documentation updates.
