Senior Research Scientist, Evidence Synthesis

Do you consider yourself a self-starter with a real passion for projects involving innovative methods in evidence synthesis? Do you love collaborating, moving the ball forward and rolling up your sleeves? We are growing and seeking a Senior Research Scientist with technical experience in systematic literature reviews and/or indirect treatment comparisons (e.g. NMA, MAIC, STC) for the purposes of health technology assessment submissions. We offer opportunities to work 100% remotely from Canada or the US . Our culture is similar to that of a start-up, but in a well-funded established global portfolio organization. We pride ourselves on being leaders with vision in our field! Below are some examples of recent work we have published as part of our efforts to support our clients: Cope S, Chan K, Jansen JP .
