The Senior Data Scientist additionally reviews relevant literature for data insights, trend detection, and to support overall business activities and strategic decision-making. The Senior Data Scientist will report to the Chief Scientific Officer and may be based at Apnimed headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, or remotely with travel to the home office as needed.

  • Regulatory Submission Collaboration: Contribute to writing and reviewing safety and pharmacovigilance content for regulatory submissions and responses, collaborating with cross-functional teams as needed.
  • Develop and maintain dashboards and reports to effectively communicate data findings to stakeholders.
