As a growing company, we are looking for a PhD or Master's-level Senior RWE Scientist. The position will be based in Ireland. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in epidemiological methods, data analysis, and healthcare datasets, along with the ability to work in a fast-paced environment. You will support strategic initiatives, conduct quantitative analyses, and contribute to research projects that shape decision-making for biotech, pharmaceutical, and healthcare organisations. - Purpose of the Role The Employee will perform epidemiological research and project activities using real-world healthcare data to support client programmes. The role focuses on study design and the application of advanced causal-inference methods. The Employee will contribute to and progressively lead projects end-to-end, operating under senior guidance on more complex engagements while taking ownership of methodological components across the portfolio. - Key Duties and Responsibilities - 1 Study Design and Methods (as assigned) - Contribute to the design of observational studies, including defining research questions and the conceptualization of the target trial. Design the emulation with real-world data such as electronic health records and administrative claims - Propose design features to appropriately align time zero with eligibility and treatment assignment (e.g., matching, clone/censor/weighting, sequential emulation) - Contribute to a full specification of the statistical methodology needed for the emulation of the target trial, especially in setting with time-varying confounding (e.g., inverse probability of treatment weighting, g-formula) - Design studies comparing sustained and dynamic treatment strategies, including the definition of per-protocol and adherence-adjusted effects. - Contribute to evaluating the fitness-for-purpose of RWD - Assist in drafting and amending study protocols and statistical analysis plans (SAPs), with increasing independence over time. - Help align study designs with regulatory and HTA expectations for real-world evidence (e.g., FDA, EMA, NICE) and with reporting guidelines (e.g., TARGET). - Critically appraise published studies and client materials (e.g., protocols, dossiers) from a methodological perspective. - 2 Project Execution and Coordination - Manage day-to-day delivery for defined projects, including timelines, risk tracking, and inter-team dependencies. - Maintain action logs, version control, and complete project files in Company systems. - Produce timely, accurate deliverables: protocol sections, SAPs, slide decks, and technical appendices. - 3 Client and Internal Collaboration - Participate in client meetings; capture requirements and communicate implications for scope, timelines, and study design. - Contribute to proposals, level-of-effort estimates, and statements of work under senior supervision. - Provide day-to-day guidance to junior team members and share knowledge across the wider team. - Contribute to internal methods notes, templates, and reusable deliverables. - Contribute to methods training, workshops, and scientific exchange sessions for clients and internal teams (e.g., on target trial emulation and confounding adjustment). - Contribute to peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations arising from project work, where client agreements allow. - Skills and Qualifications - PhD in Epidemiology or Biostatistics, with a heavy component of causal inference. Ideally at least one year of postdoctoral activity in a causal inference research group.
