Why we read it this way (7)
No work location is specified in the posting; CBSA and state are left blank. The role may be remote or hybrid but this is not stated.
The degree requirement is Master's or PhD in a relevant field; Master's is set as the minimum hard gate since either satisfies the requirement.
SAS and R are listed as an 'or' requirement ('SAS or R proficiency is required'); both are captured with each as an alternative for the other.
Optum Clinformatics Datamart and Market Clarity, Truveta, and UK Biobank are listed together as RWE data sources the candidate should have deep expertise in. Optum is treated as the primary named tool with Truveta and UK Biobank as alternatives for that gate; Truveta and UK Biobank are also listed separately as preferred given the phrasing groups them as a set rather than strict interchangeables.
Clinical trial and registry data experience is explicitly described as 'desirable,' so it is marked preferred.
The SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily observational/epidemiological analytics (closer to 15-2031 Operations Research Analysts) but the heavy statistical modeling and RWE focus also fits 15-2051 Data Scientists.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Regression analysis, Survival analysis.
