Job Summary

The Research Associate III (Epidemiologist) is a critical scientific role focused on the development and execution of Real World Science projects across Europe. Operating in a remote-based capacity, the successful candidate will be responsible for drafting high-level scientific deliverables, including study protocols, case report forms, and comprehensive reports for de novo data collection projects. This role involves significant client interaction, where you will provide methodological guidance and contribute to strategic thinking under the supervision of senior staff. Beyond technical research, you will support project management by monitoring budgets and timelines, while also contributing to business development through proposal support.
