Our multidisciplinary Modeling 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 Modeling and Simulation at Evidera is waiting for you!

Position Overview

• Contributes to model design and implements simulation models (e.g., discrete event simulation) and other decision-analytic models (e.g., Markov, individual state-transition, survival partition) to assess the cost-effectiveness of healthcare interventions.
• Assist with scientific aspects and development of submission reports to health technology assessment bodies.
• Assist with financial project management, and monitoring progress for projects when assigned.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Note: other duties may be assigned

Scientific: Conducts one or more of the following, under supervision:

• Contribute to design of health economic models to conduct cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses of healthcare interventions
