As a Principal Quantitative Scientist, you play a central role in gaining insights from complex Real World Data (RWD) to support our portfolio of clinical tests and diagnostic devices. Your work contributes directly to better and more efficient patient care and helps us push the boundaries of medical evidence generation.

Your New Team

We are a highly specialized team working at the intersection of science and technology.

• RWD Study Leadership & Design: You are responsible for the independent planning and execution of RWD studies and create precise study designs as well as Statistical Analysis Plans.

• Evidence Generation: You coordinate the consolidation of complex data – from patient-level clinical data to omics, imaging, and digital health data.

• Methodological Development: You develop innovative approaches for using RWD to complement the design of clinical trials or identify opportunities where RWD could be the primary mechanism for generating evidence for regulatory goals.

• Data Processing & Visualization: You use various programming languages and tools for large-scale processing and visualization of RWD.

• Strategic Partnerships: You work closely with internal stakeholders (Clinical Development, Medical Affairs) as well as external partners such as key opinion leaders, academic institutions, and CROs.

• Scientific Presence: You ensure that high-quality study results are published in the form of manuscripts, posters, and abstracts at international congresses to increase the organization's scientific visibility.
