About Us
We are a scientific and analytical company dedicated to providing strategic and scientific/research support to life science companies. Our mission is to tackle complex challenges with tailored solutions that enable our clients to innovate and thrive in the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
As a growing company, we are looking for a PhD or Master's-level Epidemiologist.

You will support strategic initiatives, conduct quantitative analyses, and contribute to research projects that shape decision-making for biotech, pharmaceutical, and healthcare organisations..
Role Overview
You will perform epidemiological research and project leadership activities using real-world healthcare data to support client programmes. You will lead less complex projects end-to-end and provide methodological and project management support on more complex, senior-led engagements. We expect the ideal candidate to contribute to the development of client proposals and engage in external research activities (conferences, webinars etc).
