Observational Research, Manager (Pharmacovigilance Epidemiology and Causal Inference / Obesity)
What you will do
Let's do this. Let's change the world. Do you want an exciting position working with the obesity therapeutic area and pharmacovigilance epidemiology/causal inference teams to generate real world evidence supporting a wide variety of business needs?
Observational research (OR) is an increasingly important component in drug development and commercialization, because in the current environment, there is increased demand for information from OR studies for regulatory and reimbursement authorities. The Center for Observational Research (CfOR) at Amgen partners with teams to generate real world evidence for multiple stakeholders across the product lifecycle. CfOR studies include but are not limited to evidence generation regarding the frequency and distribution of disease, the clinical burden of disease, the natural history or clinical course of disease, the design of clinical trials, treatment cost and utilization patterns, and the safety and effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
Amgen is searching for an Observational Research Manager (Epidemiology). This manager will have responsibilities for research activities supporting the obesity pipeline products and will report directly to the lead for the Pharmacovigilance Epidemiology and Causal Inference team in the Data and Analytics Center (DAC). A CfOR manager is recognized as a strong scientific contributor and is a first or contributing author for papers in peer-reviewed journals, abstracts for scientific congresses or for internal reports that enhance the company's mission. This position may be located at Amgen's Thousand Oaks headquarters or be remote.
Key Activities include:
• Design and execute studies based on causal inference frameworks to support evidence generation such as identifying appropriate patient populations, assessing disease burden and resource utilization, obtaining product registrations and label-expansions, meeting post-marketing requirements/commitments, and product differentiation
• Identify opportunities to substitute for and/or complement interventional studies to reduce time and cost of drug development
• Influence cross-functional stakeholders as to the appropriate use and timing of non-interventional research to answer high-priority strategic business questions
• Leverage real-world data and CfOR analytic approaches to inform high-value business decisions for multiple stakeholders
• Contribute to the mission of CfOR, including progressing innovative epidemiological methods and analytical capabilities to support CfOR's leadership role within Amgen and industry
