Senior Epidemiologist (Contract)

About The Role

What if your expertise in epidemiology could directly shape how population-level health data is understood, interpreted, and acted upon? We're looking for a Senior Epidemiologist to evaluate complex epidemiological models, dissect study designs, and surface the insights that drive real public health decisions.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role built for experienced epidemiologists who want meaningful, intellectually rigorous work — on their own schedule.

* Type: Hourly Contract

* Location: Remote

* Commitment: Flexible

What You'll Do

* Review and validate epidemiological models, including underlying assumptions and analytical frameworks

* Interpret population-level health data and identify the key drivers behind observed trends

* Assess study methodology for sources of bias, confounding, and misclassification

* Summarize findings in structured, scientifically precise formats suitable for expert audiences

* Evaluate relationships between interventions, risk factors, and health outcomes

* Support recurring reviews of surveillance data and public health reports

Who You Are

* Deep background in epidemiology, public health, or biostatistics

* Strong command of study design, statistical inference, and causal reasoning

* Experienced analyzing large, complex health datasets with rigor and precision

* Able to communicate nuanced scientific findings clearly and concisely

* Self-directed and comfortable working independently on substantive analytical tasks

Nice to Have

* Experience in infectious disease modeling or clinical epidemiology

* Familiarity with surveillance systems or public health data infrastructure

* Background in peer review, scientific writing, or health policy analysis

Why Join Us

* Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you

* Engage with serious, scientifically substantive work that matters

* Freelance autonomy with the structure of meaningful, task-based assignments

* Contribute to work that informs real public health understanding at scale

* Potential for ongoing work and contract extension as projects evolve
