The epidemiology team works on a range of disease areas and study designs. We undertake studies to characterize treatment patterns, disease natural history, burden of illness, disease transmission, relative efficacy, real-world effectiveness and safety, and benefit-risk. We use a variety of study designs to obtain these estimates, including prospective and retrospective data collection; analysis of clinical and administrative databases; and systematic literature review.

We pride ourselves on advancing the science/consultancy interface; we have a strong reputation and publication record for observational, interventional and modeling studies in a wide variety of clinical areas and where appropriate we seek to increase the credibility of our work through peer-reviewed publication.

The epidemiologist will provide statistical expertise relating to the design and conduct of studies, will perform the analyses, and will contribute to reporting and interpreting the findings.

This role offers the opportunity to work in this exciting and influential field, combining cutting edge epidemiology with health economics to inform Health Technology Assessment and Policy making.

MSc or PhD in biostatistics or statistics
Excellent organizational skills including written and verbal communication
Detail oriented with the ability to multi-task efficiently
Proficient in the use of R and/or SAS
Excellent oral and written communication skills, coupled with strong interpersonal skills

Additional preferred qualifications:
Proficient in Bayesian statistics
Familiar with SQL, Stata, WinBUGS
Three years or more of relevant work experience
A strong desire to learn and gain a deep understanding of the work of the department
The ability to work effectively as part of a team

An interest in health care decision making.
The ability to take on managerial responsibilities
