** Job Description
** The Associate Director (AD) of Epidemiology will provide strategic epidemiological leadership and operational execution across Jazz Pharmaceuticals' Global Research & Development (R&D) organization. This role will primarily focus on oncology programs (including rare hematology and solid tumors), while providing agile, cross-functional support to neurology development programs as needed.

The AD will be responsible for the scientific design, leadership, and operational management of non-interventional pharmacoepidemiology studies, including Natural History of Disease studies (NHS), external control arms (ECAs), post-marketing requirements/commitments (PMR/PMC), and disease registries.
