Observational Research Programmer Placement - Uxbridge

This is an exciting opportunity to join Amgen and gain exposure in the field of Observational Research Programmingwithin the Centre for Observational Research (CfOR). CfOR brings together Epidemiology, Pharmacovigilance and Health Economics to generate real-world evidence that informs the safety, effectiveness and value of Amgen’s medicines.

Key placement learnings:

  • Use platforms such as Databricks to work with big data by manipulating and analysing complex real-world data sources.

  • Build custom tools such as SAS macros, R packages, Shiny apps, and Python scripts to improve the efficiency, quality, and innovation of the programming team’s work

A key component of CfOR’s work is the use of Real-World Data (RWD), such as claims databases and electronic health records from GPs and hospitals, for the following:

  • Understand disease burden (incidence/prevalence) and treatment patterns
  • Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of interventions in diverse populations
  • Support regulatory submissions
  • Inform clinical trial design and post-marketing surveillance
