Therefore, we will extend our team by a Post-Doc researching on and implementing cutting-edge methodologies in this area.

In your role as a Post Doc you will identify, develop, and evaluate promising approaches in one or more of the following areas: pharmacoepidemiology methodologies, causal inference, trial emulation/external control, and Bayesian borrowing. You will collaborate with statistical experts both from the BDS and the Epidemiology department. You will define strategies related to your focus area from a real world evidence (RWE) methodological perspective. You will consult with clinical development teams from various TAs to support the implementation of these strategies. To publish on your results in scientific journals as well as networking with academia is a key component of your role. This is also ensured by an active participation in our vibrating network of students and student projects.

  • You will network with related academic institutions.
  • In your new role you will present your results at internal and external meetings and publication in peer-reviewed journals.
