Responsibilities
Design and execute real-world evidence (RWE) studies using EMR and claims data; Conducting data specs, SAP and protocol with key research objectives
Develop and apply robust statistical methodologies, including:
• Causal inference methods (propensity score methods, weighting, matching; GLM or GLMM, MMRM; survival analysis; random forest)
• Trial emulation frameworks
• External control arm development and borrowing strategies
Perform data analysis using healthcare coding systems (e.g., ICD, NDC)
Conduct sample size estimation and power calculations for observational and hybrid study designs
Collaborate cross-functionally with stakeholders across:
HEOR
Market Access
Clinical Development
Translate complex analytical results into clear, actionable insights
Support methodological innovation in RWE, including integration of machine learning approaches where appropriate
