The Analyst and Medical Writer positions are ideal for recent graduates in the sciences, and those with experience in scientific research, who are seeking to apply their knowledge to real-world projects. Analysts and Medical Writers work on projects involving detailed analysis of data from clinical trials and the assimilation and creative presentation of this analysis in formats including posters, slide sets, value dossiers, reports and peer‑reviewed publications.

These deliverables are used directly by clients in communication with external stakeholders, instrumental to the uptake of novel therapies. The work is structured on a project-by-project basis across three or four projects at any one time in various high‑profile disease areas and products, offering a range of work and skill development opportunities.

You will work in project teams with experienced colleagues who will provide training on the technical aspects of the role, project management, and client communication. Delivering project work requires close collaboration with clients, and after a successful induction you will participate in teleconferences and client meetings, which may involve travel within the US and internationally.

You will be based in our Boston office. This role supports shaping the US operations and involves collaboration with our Scientific Director and other senior colleagues in the US and globally.

Costello Medical is structured into teams focusing on Medical Communications, Evidence Development and Market Access. You will join one of these teams but may work on projects in other areas. You will be asked to specify which team you are applying for in your application. Learn more about our service offerings on our website.

As part of the wider policy, employees may work outside Massachusetts for up to 4 weeks annually.
