Tasks & Responsibilities:
- Perform independent analyses of secondary data, including insurance claims, electronic medical records, patient surveys, and disease registries.
- Support the development of research protocols and statistical analysis plans, recommending and implementing appropriate analytical methodologies for real-world data (RWD) studies.
- Design, develop, test, implement, validate, document, and maintain effective R programs for reporting observational database studies, as well as evaluate new data sources for observational studies focusing on safety endpoints.
- Represent your function in internal and/or external cross-functional strategic planning and programs to innovate methodologies and technology use.
- Oversee the scientific content of literature reviews and summaries, applying evidence-based best practices to the design of surveillance and epidemiological investigations.
