About the company 

At Johnson & Johnson (J&J), we are working to create a world without disease. Transforming lives by finding new and better ways to prevent, intercept, treat and cure disease inspires us.  

The Global Epidemiology team’s mission is to advance patient health by enabling informed decision-making through generating reliable real-world evidence (RWE) on the safety and benefits of J&J products. 

The project 

The candidate will join the Epicenter, a group within the Global Epidemiology team, supporting RWE generation across therapeutic areas with a focus on external real-world data (RWD) sources and networks.

The scope of the project is focused on facilitating standardized reporting of data source selection based on fit-for-purpose assessment from RWE studies for regulatory submissions.

The candidate will review the current literature and initiatives of RWD fit-for-purpose feasibility assessment and data quality frameworks. The main deliverable will be the template development to report the results from fit-for-purpose data source assessments as part of RWE study protocols.

If time permits, the candidate will support the process development by collecting insights on RWD sources from previous RWE projects by ways of networking and interviews.

Location: J&J Stockholm Office (Kolonnvägen 45, 170 67 Solna); possibility for partial remote work.

Time period: Q1 – Q2 2026 (TBD) on a full-time basis.
