Job Description
Our multidisciplinary Modelling and Simulation experts design and implement health economic models that describe complex medical processes to understand and evaluate the implications of clinical trials; demonstrate the value of interventions beyond efficacy, and assess benefits, risks, and the economic consequences associated with healthcare interventions. If you have a passion for health economic modeling to conduct cost-effectiveness analyses of healthcare interventions and have experience conceptualizing and implementing simulation models (e.g., discrete event simulation) and other decision-analytic models (e.g., decision trees, Markov, individual state-transition, survival partition), a position in Modelling and Simulation at Evidera is waiting for you!
Essential Functions:
Implement simulation models (e.g., discrete event simulation) and other decision-analytic models (e.g., decision trees, Markov, individual state-transition, survival partition) to assess the cost-effectiveness of healthcare interventions. Support scientific and financial project management, scoping, tracking progress, and teamwork for multiple projects.
Implement one or more of the following under direction:
Design and development of health economic models to conduct cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses of healthcare interventions.
Program models using Microsoft Excel with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) or simulation specialized software .
Conduct literature reviews with emphasis on extracting data pertinent to health economic evaluations and cost-effectiveness analyses.
Conduct basic statistical analyses (e.g., descriptive statistics and regression analysis)
Support development and maintenance of scientific resources (e.g., model templates, modeling training manuals).
Draft project deliverables (e.g., Excel with VBA based models, user guides, model specifications and technical reports) and draft abstracts and sections of manuscripts with possible co-authorship.
Track budget and expenses and monitor timelines and deliverables for multiple projects.
Support other "non-billable" activities as needed (e.g., draft proposals; informal mentoring of junior staff; develop relations with colleagues within the company)
Education & Experience:
PhD or Master’s degree in Operations Research, Mathematics, Economics, Engineering, Biostatistics or related field or Bachelor’s degree in a similar program with more than two years of relevant work experience.
Experience with programming simulation models (e.g., discrete event simulation) and other decision analytic models (e.g., decision trees, Markov, individual state-transition, survival partition) in Microsoft Excel or R is preferred.
Knowledge, Skills, Abilities:
Practical knowledge of simulation modeling and implementation using Microsoft Excel.
Prior experience with VBA, R, or other programming languages.
Candidates with prior experience in health care modeling and health-economic outcomes research preferred
Strong quantitative skills, with solid understanding of basic statistics.
Ability to manage deadlines, multiple tasks and relationships in a fast-paced, team-oriented and lean environment.
Basic understanding of research methods.
Strong oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
Extremely detail-oriented with strong organization skills
Computer Skills: Required: Advanced Microsoft Excel modeling skills. Proficiency in e, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft PowerPoint Desired: Experience implementing simulation models/ decision-analytic software
PPD values the health and wellbeing of our employees. We support and encourage individuals to create a healthy and balanced environment where they can thrive. Below is listed the working environment/requirements for this role:

Any time you conduct a search, the system shows you job matches, ranked by their Relevance Score (RS).
The score is calculated by a proprietary algorithm that uses Intelligent Machine Learning.
The Relevance Score tells you how well the job opportunity matches your search term or terms.
When not logged in, the system is limited to one search term. Scores for single term matches are usually lower.
When you register, log in, and set up multiple terms prioritized by importance, the jobs found for you will receive a much higher Relevance Score.
