How this role works
- You join the bench. You apply with your weekly hours and start time. We set your hourly rate from your résumé, and we may name you on proposals that match this role. If we don't win, you owe nothing.
- A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
- You work remote, paid from the contract. ~120–600 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.
What you'll do
- Build and review injury risk functions from field crash data, with honest treatment of sampling weights, censoring and uncertainty
- Tell us where a modeling approach breaks on real CISS, CIREN or FARS records, including missing data, coding changes and case selection
- Pair classical biostatistical methods with machine learning where it really helps, and say plainly where it does not
- Check our findings on injury severity, occupant factors and vehicle factors before they reach the Government
Required qualifications
- PhD in biostatistics, statistics, epidemiology, injury biomechanics or a closely related field
- Hands-on analytic work with CISS, CIREN, FARS or comparable crash databases
- Experience developing or validating injury risk functions

Preferred qualifications

- Survey-weighted analysis in R, SAS, Stata or Python
- Familiarity with AIS and ISS injury coding and occupant or vulnerable road user injury research
