Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. In this vital role you will be responsible for research activities on therapeutic/product or Data and Analytics Center (DAC) functionally aligned teams.
With a constantly growing demand for information from regulatory and reimbursement agencies, Observational Research (OR) has become a critical component in drug development and commercialization. Amgen’s Center for Observational Research (CfOR) partners with internal and external teams to generate real world evidence for multiple partners across the product lifecycle. CfOR gives evidence regarding the frequency and distribution of disease or the clinical burden of disease, the natural history or clinical course of disease, the design of clinical trials, cost and utilization patterns and the safety and efficiency of interventions.
The CfOR Manager is recognized as a strong scientific contributor and a first or contributing author for papers in peer-reviewed journals, abstracts for scientific congresses and internal reports that improve the company’s mission. Preferably, CfOR Managers will be located on the Amgen corporate campus in Thousand Oaks, CA, but remote working opportunities may also be available.
**Key Activities of a CfOR Manager include:**
+ Executing and leading descriptive epidemiologic studies to characterize the incidence/prevalence of disease in US, EU, Asia, and emerging market countries.
