Real-world evidence (RWE) is becoming increasingly important for the demonstration of clinical and economic value of pharmaceuticals and medical technologies. Our RWE team contribute to the design, execution and subsequent reporting of prospective, retrospective or cross-sectional real-world studies, as well providing strategic support to our clients in the RWE space. Studies include the analysis of data from patient registries, claims databases, prospective studies or any other source of real-world data, and involve a wide range of research questions on burden of disease, clinical effectiveness or economic topics, among others.
In this role, you will develop protocols and statistical analysis plans (in collaboration with our Statisticians, clients and external experts), acquire and analyse data, and communicate the methodologies and results in both written and oral formats. In addition to working on real-world study projects, you will also contribute to strategic projects to support clients with their RWE planning and evidence generation strategies.
As one of our most recently established divisions, this is an exciting time to join our growing RWE team; you will play a key role in shaping the future of Costello Medical’s RWE service offering by delivering high-quality real-world studies that can make a meaningful impact in a wide range of disease areas.
The work is structured on a project-by-project basis and you will usually be working on several projects in different disease areas at any one time. Within your project teams more experienced colleagues will provide one-to-one training in the technical aspects of the role, including project management and effective client communication. Delivering project work requires close collaboration with clients, and following a successful induction period you will increasingly participate in teleconferences and face-to-face meetings with external stakeholders.
Where possible, Analysts work cross-divisionally with at least one additional division to develop a broad understanding of the company’s services and clients.
