• Apply this across the pilot's set of drugs and indications

Requirements

• US-based epidemiologist

• Familiarity with biotech/pharma development programs

• Experience turning real-world data (claims, EHR, registries) into patient funnels

• 5+ years practising epidemiology (graduate degree in epidemiology, biostatistics, or public health)
