Intern, Statistical Programming (Cambridge, MA, US, 02142)

Overview

The AI & Automation Intern will support the Statistical Programming department in exploring and implementing innovative artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions to enhance workflow efficiency, reduce manual effort, and streamline programming processes. The intern will work closely with statistical programmers to understand data requirements, identify opportunities for automation, and develop proof-of-concept tools or pilot projects that demonstrate the potential of AI-driven solutions within clinical trial programming.

This role provides hands-on experience in applying AI/ML techniques to statistical programming challenges, including data processing, analysis, and reporting. The intern will gain exposure to industry standards, workflow optimization, and best practices for integrating AI solutions into existing programming processes. Additionally, the intern will support documentation, testing, and training efforts to ensure successful adoption of AI tools within the department.

Learning Outcomes

1. AI/ML Application in Statistical Programming Gain hands-on experience applying artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to automate and optimize statistical programming workflows, including data processing, analysis, and reporting tasks.
2. Understanding Clinical Data Standards and Workflows Learn about clinical trial data standards (CDISC, SDTM, ADaM) and the end-to-end statistical programming process, developing the ability to identify areas for efficiency improvement and practical AI integration.
3. Tool Development and Workflow Optimization Build skills in developing proof-of-concept tools, automating routine tasks, and enhancing workflow efficiency, while documenting processes, testing solutions, and supporting adoption within a professional statistical programming environment.
