The position requires the application of epidemiologic expertise to identify priority variables and outcomes for the study design, assessment of RWD availability of key data elements, and the opportunity to develop subject matter expertise in a variety of innovative retrospective and prospective study designs across the biopharmaceutical product life cycle.
In this position, you will lead discussions with internal and client-facing teams to define research questions and interpret findings. You will provide epidemiology expertise to support the Business Development team in the design of study proposals and work with clients to refine the objectives of new data analytic and product initiatives.
