The role
You will work with principal investigators on the scientific and operational delivery of health outcomes studies involving patients, caregivers, and clinicians. The role combines applied research, clear scientific writing, and day-to-day project coordination. Appointment at Research Associate or Senior Research Associate level will depend on experience.

Qualifications
We welcome candidates who have experience in patient preference research, as well as those with relevant scientific training who want to develop specialist expertise in this field.
You should have either:
A master's degree in a relevant scientific field, such as health economics, economics, public health, epidemiology, or management science, and at least three years of relevant experience
A doctoral degree in a relevant scientific field and at least one year of relevant experience
The following experience would be an advantage:
Designing, conducting, or analysing stated preference studies
Conducting interviews or focus groups and analysing qualitative data
Data analysis and programming in R
Writing for peer-reviewed scientific journals
Excellent written and spoken English is essential. French, German, Spanish, or Italian would be an advantage. You should be confident using Microsoft 365 applications and comfortable working with digital and AI-enabled workflows.
What we offer
You will contribute to patient preference research that informs patient-centred development and advances methods in the field. We invest in professional development, support attendance at scientific conferences, and offer a competitive compensation package with a substantial performance-based bonus.
Location and working arrangements
Kielo Research is based in Zug, Switzerland, and our team works remotely across Europe. Employees may work flexibly from an eligible country, use a company-funded co-working space where appropriate, and meet colleagues in person periodically at one of our European locations.
The role may be based in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, or the United Kingdom.
