Research Associate, Patient-Centered Outcomes
Who we are:
Adelphi Values is a leading health outcomes consultancy that works with a wide range of pharmaceutical companies. The Patient-Centered Outcomes (PCO) team are global leaders in the selection, development, validation, and use of Patient-Reported Outcome measures (PROs) and other Clinical Outcome Assessments (COA). We are a dedicated team of researchers proud of our friendly, supportive culture, reputation for high-quality research, and client service which puts the patient at the centre of drug development.
What we do:
Our purpose is to improve patients’ lives by informing healthcare decisions. We do this by supporting clients in the selection, development, psychometric validation, and implementation of COAs that form clinical trial endpoints or are used in clinical practice to support the evaluation of the patient experience and assessment of treatment benefit.
What we are looking for:
A highly motivated entry-level Research Associate with a passion for applying and enhancing their healthcare research skills in a challenging and rapidly moving field. You will have an undergraduate/postgraduate degree (BSc, MSc, or similar) in health psychology, psychology, psychological research methods, sociology, or life sciences. Work experience in a related research or health setting is desirable but not essential. You should ideally have knowledge and experience of literature review methodology, qualitative/quantitative analysis, and research design including data collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination. Experience of questionnaire development is desirable but not essential. Fluency in Microsoft Office packages, organisational skills, self-motivation, and attention to detail is essential, along with a teamwork ethos and an appetite for working in a fast-paced, fun environment. You must have eligibility to work in the UK.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
