C&#;/Python Programmer in Disease and Health-care Process Simulation Modelling Location.
Europe, (Flexible, Remote) Overview.
The Core Diabetes Model is a disease-simulation model used to inform health policy decisions and conduct economic evaluations for interventions aimed at controlling diabetes by delaying the occurrence of its complications.
You will play an integral role in supporting the team expand the model in new, related therapeutic areas, as well as optimizing its use in the C&#; environment and/or transfer to a new platform Further you will support in the development of new disease simulation models If you are interested in disease and health-care processes simulation modelling and wish to apply your technical skills to help inform healthcare decision making, this is the role for you! Essential Functions C &#; /Python programmer focused on maintaining and developing a disease-simulation software in these platforms.
Understand and be able to code complex statistical regression models (linear, logistic survival with time-varying inputs) to predict clinical endpoints (such as QRisk® https://qrisk.
