Epidemiologist, Inflammation, Real World Evidence (FSP Sponsor Dedicated)

About the position As an Epidemiologist supporting a sponsor-dedicated inflammation program, you will independently execute real-world evidence work that supports early clinical development. You will use epidemiologic methods and real-world data to characterize the natural history of disease, assess disease landscapes, evaluate study feasibility, and contribute to Phase 1–3 development programs. This is a hands-on execution role focused on producing high-quality protocols, clinical study reports, and related scientific deliverables while operating with a high degree of independence. The role is home-based in the United States, with a West Coast location preferred. You will work closely with one sponsor, gaining knowledge of its therapies while drawing on IQVIA’s global expertise. IQVIA describes itself as a global provider of clinical research services, commercial insights, and healthcare intelligence for the life sciences and healthcare industries.

• Independently execute epidemiology and real-world evidence activities supporting inflammation programs in early clinical development, including Phases 1–3.
• Use real-world data and epidemiologic methods to describe disease natural history and characterize inflammation disease landscapes.
• Conduct feasibility assessments of research questions, available data, study populations, endpoints, and potential study approaches.
• Develop and contribute to study protocols, analysis plans, study reports, clinical study reports, and other scientific deliverables.
• Support regulatory-grade real-world evidence studies using sound epidemiologic methods and appropriate documentation standards.
• Translate assigned research objectives into clear, accurate, and timely deliverables through hands-on study execution.
• Interpret study findings and clearly communicate methods, assumptions, limitations, and results to sponsor stakeholders and cross-functional partners.

• Collaborate effectively with sponsor teams across functions and time zones in a sponsor-dedicated model.

Requirements

• PhD in Epidemiology.
• Demonstrated experience applying epidemiology and real-world evidence to Phase 1–3 clinical development programs.
• Prior pharmaceutical industry experience.
• Knowledge of regulatory-grade real-world evidence expectations and rigorous observational research methods.
• Epidemiology experience in inflammation or a closely related therapeutic area.
• Experience conducting natural history, disease landscape, and study feasibility work using real-world data.
• Experience developing study protocols, clinical study reports, and related epidemiology deliverables.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of assigned work, and execute with limited supervision.
• Strong scientific writing, analytical, project management, and stakeholder communication skills.
