Senior Research Scientist, Evidence Synthesis

Do you consider yourself a self-starter with a real passion for projects involving innovative methods in evidence synthesis? Do you love collaborating, moving the ball forward and rolling up your sleeves? We are growing and seeking a Senior Research Scientist with technical experience in systematic literature reviews and/or indirect treatment comparisons (e.g. NMA, MAIC, STC) for the purposes of health technology assessment submissions. We offer opportunities to work 100% remotely from Canada or the US .

Our culture is similar to that of a start-up, but in a well-funded established global portfolio organization. We pride ourselves on being leaders with vision in our field! Below are some examples of recent work we have published as part of our efforts to support our clients:

Senior Research Scientists collaborate across a broad portfolio of sophisticated evidence synthesis projects in a multi-level team structure. Responsibilities include development of deliverables (e.g. study protocols and technical reports), handling day-to-day client communications, as well as delegating and overseeing tasks completed by junior researchers. This position will complete complex job responsibilities independently as well as provide mentorship and direction for others in delivering project work.

Essential functions for this role are:

Subject Matter Expertise/Domain Knowledge

Demonstrates understanding of the pharmaceutical industry, medical affairs, and requirements for health technology assessments

Sufficient understanding of relevant methods to be able to oversee systematic literature reviews (clinical, economic, and/or health-related quality of life) and/or quantitative evidence synthesis studies

Can identify considerations relevant to the synthesis of available evidence and communicate these within deliverables (e.g., feasibility assessments, statistical analysis plans)

Deliverable Creation

Develops client-ready deliverables including protocols, statistical analysis plans, technical reports, and slides

Strategic Direction

Contributes to short-term resourcing discussions

Project Management

Manages the delivery of components of projects by collaborating with other staff members to ensure high quality outputs

Helps ensure timely delivery and financial performance of projects or project subcomponents

Estimates required hours and identifies challenges early on and communicates any changes as well as viable solutions to project lead if necessary

Client Management

Reviews update slides/minutes and actions for overall study and viewed by client as independent researcher for specific study or component(s)

Leads client calls and responds to emails, inviting input from senior team members with methodological/subject matter expertise where appropriate
