Join IQVIA’s Sponsor-Dedicated FSP team and help advance healthcare through real-world evidence. We bring together scientific expertise and real-world data to help sponsors make decisions and accelerate evidence generation to improve patient outcomes. In this role, you’ll work closely with one sponsor, gaining deep knowledge of their therapies while leveraging IQVIA’s global expertise.

Core Function Description: This role will support the Inflammation, Real World Evidence team, providing scientific and strategic epidemiology support for clinical development and drug safety activities. This role will leverage secondary real-world data (RWD) sources to generate evidence that informs regulatory, safety, and clinical development decisions across the product lifecycle. Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing and conducting observational research studies
  • Assessing evidence gaps
  • Evaluating safety profiles
  • Developing evidence strategies to support regulatory interactions and clinical development programs

The Senior Epidemiologist will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including Clinical Development, Safety, Regulatory Affairs, Biostatistics, and Real-World Evidence stakeholders, to ensure appropriate epidemiologic approaches are applied to address critical business and scientific questions.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Doctoral degree (PhD, ScD, or equivalent) in Epidemiology
  • 5 to 7 years of epidemiology experience within a pharmaceutical/biotechnology company
  • Demonstrated experience supporting clinical development and/or drug safety
  • Strong expertise in observational research methods and the use of commercial healthcare databases such as HealthVerity, Pharmetrics Plus, TriNetX, or similar real-world data assets
  • Solid understanding of regulatory requirements and evidence needs supporting clinical development, including the generation of evidence to address regulatory questions related to safety profiles and evidence gaps for Phase II and Phase III programs
  • Proven ability to design, execute, and interpret epidemiologic studies that support regulatory, clinical, or safety objectives

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.
