If there’s one thing your preparation in earning your advanced degree has taught you, it’s how to evolve your expertise rapidly and stay at the forefront of your field. Forging new relationships and establishing rapport with thought leaders comes naturally to you and you like being around people.

Additionally, the MSL will focus efforts to support clinical study investigators and early education initiatives related to transthyretin amyloidosis, dyslipidemia disorders and hereditary angioedema. Through scientific exchange, the MSL will communicate and advance the scientific platform aligned with the overall medical communications and medical affairs strategies.

• Identify and communicate research gaps, opportunities, and relevant field intelligence to inform medical strategy
• Accelerate recruitment efforts and enhance subject retention at targeted clinical trial sites

• MD, PhD, PharmD, DO or equivalent degree required
• 3-5 years’ experience in field-based medical role within a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company
• Preference will be given to those with expertise and experience in Allergy, Immunology, Cardiology, Cardiometabolic and/or Rare Disease therapeutic areas

 As a healthcare company we have an important responsibility to protect individual and public health. This position will require individuals to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as part of their job responsibilities, unless an exemption can be confirmed based on a medical condition or sincerely held religious belief. Submission & Approval of an Exemption does not guarantee that an exemption can be accommodated. 

I understand that if I am made an offer of employment, it will be conditioned on my demonstration I am fully vaccinated OR I plan to initiate vaccination by my start date AND be fully vaccinated within 4 weeks of start date against the COVID-19 virus. ​

IMPORTANT: I understand that if the role for which I am applying requires extensive in-person contact with colleagues, health care providers, clients and other medical professionals who have stringent vaccination requirements that all Syneos Health employees with whom they partner be fully vaccinated and will not accept or consider any exemptions. I understand I can request an exemption from Syneos Health’s vaccination requirement based on a qualifying medical condition or sincerely held religious belief. However, in the event that I successfully obtain an exemption, I understand that it is highly unlikely that I will be able to adequately perform the essential functions of this position without imposing an undue hardship on Syneos Health due to the clients’ demands.
