Associate Scientific Director (Scientific Lead)

CHC Group - Medical Communications

Home-Based, United States

The position of Associate Scientific Director (ASD) includes all of the duties of a Senior Medical Writer as well as additional project-level editorial and coordination responsibilities, some of which are comparable to those of a Scientific Director.

To qualify for the ASD position, one of two key elements must be fulfilled. One of these is the ability to work directly with the Scientific Director to assume primary editorial oversight and approval responsibility for selected projects/tasks and function with a greater level of responsibility and autonomy on those projects. The second or alternative key element for qualification for the ASD position is the ability to provide a high level of strategic input and the ability to execute key strategic tasks with minimal oversight or input from the team scientific director.

For both the review and strategic oversight elements, travel to professional meetings, client locations, and other project-related travel may be required.
