Associate Director, Observational Health Data Analytics – Global Epidemiology - 2306123161W

Description

Janssen Research & Development, L.L.C., a division of Johnson & Johnson's Family of Companies, is recruiting an Associate Director, Observational Health Data Analytics. The preferred position location includes Horsham, PA; Titusville, NJ; or Raritan, NJ. Remote work options in the United States may be considered on a case-by-case basis and if approved by the Company.

This position is a member of the Observational Health Data Analytics (OHDA) team. OHDA is a team within the Global Epidemiology Organization, as part of the Office of Chief Medical Officer. OHDA’s mission is to improve the lives of individuals and quality of healthcare by efficiently generating real-world evidence from the world’s observational health data, transparently disseminating evidence-based insights to real-world decision-makers, and objectively advancing the science and technology behind reliable, reproducible real-world analytics.

The OHDA team collaborates with the Epidemiology department, the Janssen Research and Development organization, and others within the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies on generating and disseminating real-world evidence about disease, health service utilization, and the effects of medical products through the analysis of healthcare data. OHDA uses real-world data, such as electronic health records and administrative claims, to generate real-world evidence about disease and medical interventions following three analytic use cases:

• Clinical characterization: descriptive statistics for disease natural history and treatment utilization

• Population-level effect estimation: causal inference for safety surveillance and comparative effectiveness

• Patient-level prediction: applying machine learning and artificial intelligence for disease interception and precision medicine

OHDA collaborates with the broader international research community to establish and promote best practices in the appropriate use of observational data by conducting methodological research, developing standardized analytics tools, and demonstrating successful applications to important clinical questions.

This role will be a hands-on member of the team whose primary responsibilities include:

• Work closely with colleagues within the Epidemiology department.

• Responsible for contributions with minimal supervision to the successful delivery of observational analyses for clinical characterization, population-level effect estimation, and patient-level prediction to meet the needs of J&J's scientific and business functions.

• Responsible for contributions with minimal supervision to the design of observational database analysis, including authoring protocol and analysis plans.

• Responsible for contributions with minimal supervision to the hands-on development and execution of observational database analyses by using standardized analytical tools and writing statistical programs against internal and external observational data resources.

• Responsible for contributions with minimal supervision for innovating, evaluating, and establishing scientific best practices around the design and conduct of observational analysis and accompanying processes to ensure the reliability of real-world evidence.

• Responsible for contributions with minimal supervision to the design and development of software and analytical tools that encode scientific best practices into solutions that enable real-world evidence generation and dissemination.

• Responsible for contributions with minimal supervision to the development and evolution of scientific and industry standards for observational data harmonization, ensuring their appropriate application across the Johnson & Johnson real-world data ecosystem, and leading the evaluation and characterization of observational data for their fitness-for-use to address clinical questions from across the organization

• Responsible for contributions with minimal supervision to technical support for the data and analysis infrastructure and provide scientific support for conducting observational research in collaboration with epidemiologists and product teams.

Qualifications

• At least 4 years of experience in statistical programming (R), or database programming (SQL) is required.

• At least 2 years of programming experience against large healthcare data sets is required.

• At least 2 years of relevant prior work experience in the healthcare industry within a pharmaceutical company, insurer, or within a health system is required.

• At least 2 years of Epidemiology research experience is preferred.

• Knowledge of the Observation Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (CDM) is preferred.

• Experience with the statistical analysis and management of administrative claims datasets or electronic health/medical records is preferred.

• Knowledge of medical terminologies (ICD, NDC, SNOMED, MedDRA, LOINC, CPT) is preferred.

• A record of accomplishment of authoring scientific communications (peer-reviewed publications, poster or oral presentations at conferences, technical reports) is preferred.
