Why we read it this way (8)
The title blends two roles — 'Clinical R Programmer / Principal Data Scientist Consultant' — reflecting a clinical programming focus (SDTM/ADaM dataset development) rather than a traditional data science (ML/modeling) role; 15-2051 was chosen over 15-1252 because the statistical/analytical framing and CDISC standards work align more closely with Data Scientists, but the runner-up is plausible.
The posting is tagged '#LI-Remote' and '#contract', confirming fully remote and contract engagement.
The advertised title says 'Principal' but the required experience (4–6+ years) and scope of work are consistent with a Senior-level role; the Principal label appears to be a client-facing title rather than a true org-wide technical authority designation.
The degree requirement lists Bachelor's or Master's as acceptable options with no equivalent-experience clause, but since either degree satisfies the gate, the minimum is Bachelor's — however, the JD frames it as 'Bachelor's or Master's … or related field,' which is a standard educational preference rather than a hard gate, so the degree requirement is set to None.
No compensation figures were provided in the posting.
GxP validation and automated workflows appear alongside Git under Preferred Qualifications; Git is the only concrete named tool extracted from that grouping.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
