Our research and consulting services are driven by world-class science and thought leadership and leverage a unique combination of capabilities in health economics, outcomes research, market access, data analytics, and epidemiology.

Our multidisciplinary Modelling and Simulation (HEOR) 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 modelling 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), research and analytics, a position in Modelling and Simulation could be waiting for you!

Position Overview:

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.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities (other duties may be assigned):

Implement one or more of the following under direction:

• Design and development of health economic modeling to conduct cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses of healthcare interventions, using simulation models (e.g., discrete event simulation) and other decision-analytic models (e.g., decision trees, Markov, individual state-transition, survival partition).
• Program the models using Microsoft Excel with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) or simulation specialized software (e.g., Arena).
• 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, Professional Skills & Experience:

PhD or Master's degree with more than two years of relevant work experience in, Mathematics, Health Economics, or Epidemiology with relevant experience 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 with VBA or other programming languages.

Computer Skills:

Required: Excel and VBA expertise, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint
Desired: Experience using other simulation and/or decision-analysis software (e.g., Arena, TreeAge).
