Job Description

Our multidisciplinary Modelling and Simulation experts design and implement health economic models that describe complex medical processes to understand and evaluate the implications of clinical trials; demonstrate the value of interventions beyond efficacy, and assess benefits, risks, and the economic consequences associated with healthcare interventions. If you have a passion for health economic modeling to conduct cost-effectiveness analyses of healthcare interventions and have experience conceptualizing and implementing simulation models (e.g., discrete event simulation) and other decision-analytic models (e.g., decision trees, Markov, individual state-transition, survival partition), a position in Modelling and Simulation at Evidera is waiting for you!

Discover Impactful Work:

• Conceptualization, design and implementation of health economic models to conduct cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses of healthcare interventions
• Scientifically responsible person for a project or to lead selected aspects within larger projects with multiple models with senior scientific "guidance/consultation"
• Draft project deliverables (e.g., Excel with VBA based models, model specifications, and technical reports) at "final quality" level with minimal senior review, and draft abstracts and manuscripts as lead or co-author
• As Principal Investigator have project budget, deliverable and timeline responsibility; identify scope expansion and need for amendments
• Support other "non-billable" activities as needed (e.g. draft and approve proposals; lead methodological advancements, supervise junior staff; closely collaborate with other business units; lead some efforts as company representative)
