The successful applicant will have an opportunity to work under the supervision of Dr. Michael Harhay and collaborators at the Center for Clinical Trials Innovation, with increasing autonomy to independently lead innovative methodological developments (particularly Bayesian components of funded projects) and author peer-reviewed publications.
