About The Position

Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: NBIX) is offering the opportunity to gain hand-on experience in pharmacoepidemiology, rea-world evidence (RWE), and observational research within the world of biotechnology. Our intern program offers exposure to epidemiologic study design, systematic literature review methods, real-world data (RWD) analysis, and background rate characterization, while collaborating closely with cross-functional partners across ADS, DSPV, Medical Affairs, Clinical Development, Biostatistics, and HEOR. The ADS EPI/RWE team has a strong reputation in the industry for rigorous methodology, scientific innovation, and high-impact contributions to product value demonstration, reimbursement strategy, safety decision-making, and HTA support.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in a degree program in Epidemiology, Pharmacoepidemiology, Biostatistics, or a related public health discipline at an accredited institution.
• Strong understanding of observational research methods, including study design, bias, confounding, and causal inference; familiarity with modern epidemiologic and pharmacoepidemiologic concepts.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly synthesize and present complex data to both scientific and non-scientific audiences.
• Demonstrated motivation, attention to detail, and strong work ethic, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
• Ability to commit to a full-time (40 hours/week) internship during June–August 2026.
• Hands-on experience analyzing real-world data (e.g., claims, EHR, registry).
• Proficiency with analytical tools such as R, Python, SAS, or similar statistical software.
• Familiarity with systematic review platforms (e.g., DistillerSR, Covidence) or RWD analytics environments.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with registry, administrative claims, or electronic health record (EHR) data is preferred.
• Experience or coursework involving rare diseases, genetic epidemiology, or demography is desirable.

Responsibilities

• Utilize in-house databases, licensed real-world data (RWD) sources, and external partner resources to characterize diseases of interest, including assessments of disease burden, incidence, prevalence, and progression.
• Conduct systematic and targeted literature reviews to describe epidemiology, natural history, and background event rates for outcomes relevant to Neurocrine programs.
• Support development of scientific study materials—including study concepts, protocols, analysis plans, mock tables, and written summaries—for internal stakeholders and regulatory/scientific communications.
• Observe and contribute to the day-to-day workflows of RWE study leads, gaining exposure to study planning, feasibility assessments, execution, and cross-functional scientific review.
• Assist with data extraction, evidence synthesis, and preparation of slide decks summarizing epidemiologic findings for safety, clinical, and value-based decision-making.
• Contribute to exploratory analyses using claims, EHR, registry, or other RWD datasets under the guidance of senior epidemiologists.
• Participate in cross-functional meetings with Biostatistics, DSPV, Medical Affairs, HEOR, and Clinical Development to understand how epidemiology and RWE inform safety evaluation, trial design, and product strategy.
• Complete a dedicated Epidemiology/RWE capstone project and present findings and recommendations to senior leadership at the end of the internship.
