We're a team of 60+ passionate people who care deeply about helping our members reduce symptoms, feel better, and live fuller lives - while helping employers and payors reduce their spend.\nAbout the Role\nAutoimmune disease is often invisible, poorly understood, and disproportionately affects women. WellTheory helps people manage it through nutrition and lifestyle-based care alongside their medical treatment, and we need rigorous evidence to show what works, for whom, and why. As our first Clinical Research Scientist, you’ll build our research function from scratch. You’ll own the agenda end to end: designing studies, analyzing our member and claims data, publishing in peer-reviewed journals, and turning findings into both commercial evidence and better care. This is a hands-on, senior individual contributor role with real influence over how our program evolves.\nWhat You'll Do\nStudy design and analysis\nDesign and run observational studies on member data, including matched cohorts, pre/post analyses, propensity-scored comparisons, and interrupted time series\n\nAnalyze medical and pharmacy claims, covering utilization, biologic and biosimilar trends, and cost of care\n\nWrite statistical analysis plans and do the hands-on analysis in Python, R, or SQL, partnering with our data team for scale\n\nPublication and scientific presence\nPublish as first or senior author in journals read by clinicians, payers, and digital health peers\n\nPresent at meetings such as ACR, DDW, AAD, and AMCP\n\nLead outside collaborations with health plans, employers, and academic partners as WellTheory’s principal investigator, including protocols and IRB submissions\n\nManage all regulatory requirements for our studies, including IRB review\n\nTurning evidence into impact\nWork with care and product teams to turn findings into updated protocols and a more personalized member experience\n\nShape how we capture structured data (symptoms, adherence, biomarkers, PROs) so future studies are stronger\n\nHelp define our autoimmune population and cohort logic\n\nCreate white papers and one-pagers that commercial and partnership teams can use with prospects\n\nServe as our scientific voice in health plan clinical reviews and payer conversations\n\nYou Might Be a Great Fit If You...\nA PhD or equivalent research doctorate in epidemiology, health services research, outcomes research, biostatistics, public health, nutrition science, or a related field. Exceptional MS/MPH candidates with deep industry experience and a strong publication record are welcome.\n\nExperience applying real-world evidence methods (propensity score matching, difference-in-differences, interrupted time series) to claims data such as MarketScan, Optum, or HealthVerity\n\nIndustry experience in digital health, a payer, or life sciences, or a clear track record of applied, decision-oriented research\n\nFluency in Python, R, or SQL\n\nA pragmatic view of evidence: you know when an RCT is the right tool and when it isn’t, and you can build rigor from the data available\n\nFamiliarity with how evidence is used commercially, such as employer RFPs and health plan clinical reviews\n\nComfort being the sole domain expert, saying “I don’t know yet, but here’s how we’ll find out,” and working across clinical, product, and data teams\n\nThis position requires current work authorization in the United States. We are unable to provide visa sponsorship at this time.\nBonus Points\nExperience in autoimmune disease, rheumatology, dermatology, GI, or endocrinology\n\nFamiliarity with nutrition and lifestyle interventions as clinical care\n\nExperience at an early- or growth-stage digital health company\n\nPrior experience building a research or evidence function from scratch\n\nExisting relationships with key opinion leaders in autoimmune care\n\nWhat We Offer\nA team that genuinely cares about each other and the members we serve\n\nA fully remote company that gathers every year for an annual retreat\n\nA base salary range of $130,000 - $150,000 with meaningful equity and benefits. Placement within our range depends on directly relevant skills and experiences you bring to the role.\n\nFor your safety: Please remember that WellTheory will only contact you from a @ welltheory.com email address.
