Company Description

QC Medica is a specialized research consultancy focused on Clinical Outcome Assessments (COAs) and patient-centered evidence generation for the life sciences industry. The company partners with pharmaceutical and medical technology organizations to develop and implement Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) and other patient experience data, along with COA strategy, instrument development and validation, health-state utility studies, preference research, and qualitative research.


Role Description

This is a contract, remote role for a Consultant Health Data Scientist / Health Econometrician. The Consultant will apply data science and statistical methodologies to analyze healthcare and economic data supporting COA research, real-world evidence (RWE) generation, and patient-centered outcomes research. The role involves collaborating with interdisciplinary research teams to conduct analyses, develop models, and generate insights that inform health economic evaluation, market access strategies, and HTA submissions.


Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct COA and Real-World Evidence (RWE) analyses using healthcare datasets, including electronic health records (EHR) and PRO and other COA data.
  • Perform statistical analyses including descriptive statistics, regression modeling, and econometric analyses to support HEOR.
  • Develop reproducible analytical workflows using R and statistical programming packages.
  • Utilize Excel for data management, validation, exploratory analysis, and analytical reporting, including structured datasets and summary tables.
  • Create data visualizations and analytical outputs to communicate insights effectively to research teams and stakeholders.
  • Conduct quality checks on data, code, and analytical outputs to ensure accuracy, consistency, and reproducibility.
  • Maintain clear documentation of datasets, programming workflows, and analytical processes.
  • Collaborate with team to understand research objectives and deliver analytical outputs aligned with research requirements.


Qualifications

  • Master’s degree or PhD in Data Science, Statistics, Econometrics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
  • Strong expertise in data science, statistical analysis, and applied econometrics.
  • Advanced proficiency in R for statistical computing and data analysis.
  • Strong proficiency in Excel for data manipulation, validation, and reporting.
  • Experience working with healthcare datasets, including EHR or RWE.
  • Strong technical documentation and written communication skills.

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three years. Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
