You will help ensure that surveys administered to healthcare professionals are clinically accurate, scientifically credible, appropriately structured, and relevant to real-world clinical practice. This is an opportunity for an ongoing collaboration across multiple therapeutic areas and research initiatives over the coming months.

  • Translate complex clinical concepts and research objectives into well-structured, unbiased survey questions.

  • Apply established market research methodologies to improve questionnaire design, response options, survey flow, and data quality.

  • Evaluate surveys for clinical terminology, treatment pathways, diagnostic criteria, patient management practices, and therapeutic relevance.

  • Collaborate with research teams to incorporate feedback and maintain consistency across survey projects.

  • Provide expert recommendations to improve survey validity, physician engagement, and overall research quality.

Required Qualifications

  • Advanced clinical or scientific degree: MD, DO, PhD, PharmD, or equivalent qualification in medicine, clinical research, or a closely related discipline.

  • Clinical expertise: Strong understanding of specific diseases, therapeutic areas, treatment guidelines, and real-world clinical decision-making.

  • Healthcare market research experience: Demonstrated experience designing, writing, reviewing, or validating healthcare professional (HCP) surveys.

  • Survey methodology: Familiarity with questionnaire design, survey logic, response scales, question bias, and research best practices.

  • Experience working with pharmaceutical companies, healthcare market research agencies, life sciences consulting firms, or clinical research organisations.

  • Strong written communication skills and the ability to translate complex medical information into clear, actionable survey questions.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in healthcare market research, clinical survey development, or related research activities.

  • Previous experience developing surveys targeting physicians, specialists, or other healthcare professionals.

  • Familiarity with platforms such as Qualtrics, Forsta, Decipher, Alchemer, or SurveyMonkey.

  • Experience in therapeutic-area-specific market research, including treatment journeys, prescribing behaviour, clinical decision-making, and unmet medical needs.

  • Experience supporting multiple research studies across different disease areas.

Why Join our partner?

  • Ongoing Collaboration: Opportunity to participate in multiple healthcare research projects over the coming months.

  • Apply Your Expertise: Combine your clinical knowledge and research methodology experience to improve the quality of physician-focused surveys.

Test tips for doctors
  • Lead every review with patient safety: flag dangerous dosing, missed red flags and contraindications first.
  • Cite the guideline you rely on (WHO, NICE, specialty society) when you correct the AI.
  • Keep answers at the level of a specialist colleague, not a patient leaflet, unless the task says otherwise.
