Durham, United States of America | Full time | Home-based | R1548914
Location: Remote, candidates must be US-based
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 a Real World Evidence team focused on Inflammation, with flexibility across indications (e.g., lupus, IBD, Crohn’s). This role will play a key part in designing and executing real-world evidence (RWE) studies that inform clinical development strategy, including generating evidence to address regulatory questions related to safety profiles and evidence gaps for Phase 2 and Phase 3 programs.
This position requires a senior-level epidemiologist to provide scientific oversight across complex observational research, leveraging secondary data sources such as commercial real-world data platforms. The role involves applying epidemiologic expertise to study design, execution, and interpretation, with a strong focus on ensuring that evidence generated is fit-for-purpose for regulatory and clinical decision-making.
Qualified candidates will bring experience supporting clinical development and/or drug safety, along with a strong understanding of how RWE is used to support regulatory submissions. While therapeutic area experience in inflammation is a plus, it is not required. This position requires close collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders, with the ability to operate independently within a sponsor-dedicated environment.
Minimum Qualifications:
Doctoral degree in Epidemiology
5–7 years of experience within a pharma company or pharma consulting environment
Experience conducting real-world evidence studies using secondary data sources, including commercial RWD platforms (e.g., HealthVerity, PharMetrics Plus, TriNetX)
Strong understanding of regulatory requirements supporting clinical development, including the types of evidence required to address safety and evidence gaps for Phase 2 and Phase 3 programs
Experience supporting clinical development and/or drug safety through observational research
Ability to work with and interpret large healthcare datasets; advanced programming not required
Strong ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams and contribute to study design, execution, and interpretation
Preferred Qualifications:
Therapeutic area experience in inflammation, including lupus, IBD, or Crohn’s disease
Experience working with primary or hybrid data sources, in addition to secondary data
Experience supporting regulatory submissions or evidence packages

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in remote epidemiologist jobs.
- Master's degree or doctoral degree in epidemiology or a closely related public health field
- Proficiency in statistical software such as SAS, R, Stata, or SPSS for data analysis
- Experience designing and conducting epidemiologic studies including cohort or case-control designs
- Familiarity with public health surveillance systems and reportable disease data management
- Strong written communication skills for preparing scientific reports, manuscripts, and grant applications
- Experience working with large administrative or claims datasets and managing data governance requirements
Tips for Your Remote Epidemiologist Job Search
Tailor your resume to study design
Hiring managers scan for the study designs you've led, not just the diseases you've studied. Specify whether you've designed cohort, case-control, or cross-sectional studies, and name the analytic software you used for each project so reviewers can match your skills to their methods.
Highlight IRB and data governance experience
Many epidemiologist postings require demonstrated experience navigating IRB submissions or working with restricted datasets. Call out specific protocols you've submitted, data use agreements you've managed, or de-identification standards you've applied, since these are gating qualifications that resume screeners look for first.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists epidemiologist openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter by surveillance system familiarity
Government and health system postings often require hands-on experience with specific surveillance systems like NNDSS, NHANES, or state reportable disease registries. Search for openings that name systems you've used, and mirror that exact terminology in your resume to pass applicant tracking system filters.
Prepare a methods walkthrough for interviews
Epidemiology interviews frequently ask you to walk through a past study from question conception to analysis. Practice a three-to-five minute narrative that covers your exposure and outcome definitions, confounding strategy, and how you interpreted or communicated the findings to a non-technical audience.
Negotiate start date around academic cycles
University and research institute roles often have constrained start windows tied to grant periods or semester schedules. When negotiating your start date, ask whether the position is grant-funded and when the funding cycle begins so you can align your timeline and avoid gaps in project coverage.
Remote Epidemiologist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote epidemiologist job?
Target companies that already run distributed teams, since they hire remotely by default and know how to onboard someone they never meet in person. Remote epidemiologist employers screen hard for self-direction and clear written communication on top of the core skills, so show evidence you can own work without someone over your shoulder. Apply to the openings above that match your experience.
Which companies hire remote epidemiologists?
Remote epidemiologist roles are posted by IQVIA and Iqvia and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Remote-first firms and large companies running distributed teams post the most remote epidemiologist roles.
Can you get a remote epidemiologist job with no experience?
Yes, but it is harder than an on-site role, because remote work expects you to operate independently from the start. Entry-level remote epidemiologist openings do exist, especially at remote-first companies, and a portfolio of real work helps more than a long resume. Applying broadly to the roles that fit improves your odds.
Do you need a degree for remote epidemiologist jobs?
Not always. Many employers hire remote epidemiologists on demonstrated skills and prior work rather than a specific degree, though some larger companies still prefer one. Showing relevant results matters more than a credential for most remote epidemiologist roles.
