About the Role

Our Epidemiologist Internship is ideal for current students and recent graduates with a keen interest in epidemiology, biostatistics and public health, who are eager to gain valuable insights into life at a leading healthcare consultancy. You will gain practical experience by contributing to two or three projects during the internship, each of which involve the interpretation, assimilation, and analyses of real–world studies or public health data. Specific tasks may include:

- Developing protocols and statistical analysis plans (SAPs)




- Conducting analysis of data from patient registries and electronic health record (EHR) databases
- Supporting primary data generation activities such as prospective cohort studies or patient/clinician surveys

These meaningful and exciting projects contribute to improving healthcare outcomes globally. Interns will receive one‑to‑one training on the technical aspects of the role and learn about project management and effective communication with clients.

Epidemiologist Interns will work on projects that span our Real‑World Evidence (RWE) and our Literature Reviews teams, giving you broad exposure to our Evidence Development service offering. You will also work in project teams alongside colleagues from all service offerings, as many projects are interdisciplinary in scope.

This role will likely be a 3 month internship with a potential to extend to 6 months.
