Requirements • PhD in Epidemiology is required. • Demonstrated experience applying epidemiology and real-world evidence to Phase 1-3 clinical development programs. • Prior pharmaceutical industry experience is required. • Knowledge of regulatory-grade real-world evidence expectations and rigorous observational research methods. • Demonstrated oncology epidemiology experience, including ovarian cancer; lung cancer experience is strongly preferred. • 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. • Proven ability to work independently, take ownership of assigned studies, and execute with limited supervision. • Strong scientific writing, analytical, project management, and stakeholder communication skills.

What's in it for you? • Be part of a forward-thinking team that helps shape the next generation of evidence-based healthcare. • Work hand-in-hand with one leading sponsor, gaining deep expertise in its therapies and development programs. • Access IQVIA's global network and scientific community to support your continued growth.
