Biostatistician Cover Letter Example

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Biostatistician with 3 years of experience in clinical research, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a Biostatistician at the Halliwell Institute in Ohio, where I collect, analyze, and summarize biological data to support pre-clinical research, clinical trials, and observational studies related to Halliwell’s COVID-19 vaccine. I assist with statistical design, implementation, and analysis, as well as developing and producing study forms, data validations, query reports, and global study reports. This builds upon my post-graduate experience as a Junior Biostatistician with Alinx Healthcare, where I was involved in a number of major human data science projects.

Mirroring your requirements, I possess excellent experience with standard statistical techniques for longitudinal high-dimensional data, implementing methods for the analysis of imaging and genetic biomarker data, and clinical trial data analysis. 

In addition to my statistical, biomedical data analysis, programming, and clinical trials expertise, I hold a Master of Epidemiology and a Bachelor of Biostatistics. I am proficient in SAS, Stata, R, and S-Plus, and have experience with Windows and UNIX environments.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Foster
