• Support HEOR disease/asset leads in assessment of research gaps and evidence generation objectives that may be addressed through observational research

Qualifications:

• Advanced degree in health economics or a related discipline (such as mathematics, statistics, economics, epidemiology)

• Knowledge of observational research methods and their application to studies assessing disease burden, healthcare resource utilization, treatment patterns, co-morbidities, and health outcomes studies in real-world patient populations
• Hands-on experience analyzing large patient-level healthcare datasets, including open and closed claims, EHR/EMR data, and hospital chargemaster data (e.g., MarketScan, PharMetrics Plus, eLAAD+, Premier)
• Working knowledge of national healthcare coding systems, including diagnostic, procedure, and drug coding, as well as relevant healthcare system structures
• Advanced proficiency in SAS programming and Excel required
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, including the ability to clearly convey complex analytic findings to both technical and non-technical audiences
