Epidemiologist — Patient Population Sizing

Mercor is partnering with a biotech and pharma research team on expert human-evaluation work — creating and critiquing rubrics that analyze commercial drugs and drug-development programs. We're seeking an epidemiologist for a paid pilot, with the potential to continue as the work scales.

Responsibilities - Create and critique rubrics that analyze commercial drugs and drug-development programs - Size the patient population for a given drug or indication (prevalence, incidence, diagnosed → treated → addressable) - Judge whether a patient-population estimate is sound and well-sourced, and flag over- or under-counting - Apply this across the pilot's set of drugs and indications

Requirements - US-based epidemiologist - Familiarity with biotech/pharma development programs - Experience turning real-world data (claims, EHR, registries) into patient funnels - 5+ years practising epidemiology (graduate degree in epidemiology, biostatistics, or public health)

Engagement Details - Duration: Approximately 10–20 hours over a 1–2 week pilot - Remote — US-based
