You will help to answer a wide range of research questions on burden of disease, clinical effectiveness, comparative efficacy or economic topics, among others. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to strategic client projects, develop your expertise across multiple therapeutic areas and be part of a collaborative, growing team.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Developing protocols and statistical analysis plans (in collaboration with our Statisticians, Epidemiologists, clients and external experts)

You will work in project teams alongside colleagues from all specialities to ensure that evidence development projects are completed to an exceptionally high standard, on time and in line with client expectations. This role will include a range of work with varying levels of technical requirements. You will receive one-to-one training in the technical aspects of the role, including project management and effective client communication.
