Description:

Position Summary:
Verilogue is seeking an enthusiastic language and discourse specialist to join
our team of healthcare communication experts. The ideal candidate will have
training in interactional sociolinguistics (e.g., conversation analysis,
narrative analysis, ethnographic methods, sociolinguistic fieldwork, etc.),
the ability to identify and clearly communicate research insights to internal
teams and clients, and the nimbleness required to juggle academic theory and
business sensibility.  Additionally, candidates should have strong
organizational and project management skills, as well as an interest in
working directly with Verilogue’s clients.

Verilogue’s mission is to inspire communication that makes a positive impact
on healthcare practitioners, patients, and their families. We live in the
heart of the conversation and draw insight from interactions with the human in
mind. As a member of our insights and analytics group, you will create
understanding and empathy around individuals’ interactional and interpersonal
needs – for our clients and for our sister agency partners. Your research on
physician-patient conversations will help our clients be a “fly-on-the-wall”
in the exam-room and your insights will inspire them to improve disease
education, build treatment awareness, and establish trusting relationships in
the healthcare space.

Essential Duties/ Responsibilities:                 
As a researcher, you won’t have to worry about transcribing your own data, but
we will look to you to: 
- Analyze conversations between healthcare professionals and patients. 
- Synthesize linguistic patterns into coherent and meaningful insights for
client marketing research teams.
- Manage project logistics to ensure that the work meets our clients’ goals
and is delivered on time  
- Share research findings with internal and client audiences through written
reports (PowerPoint) and in-person presentations.
 
In addition to being intensely curious about language, we also expect our
researchers to have:
- Polished writing and presentation skills.
- A strong sense of initiative, independence, and ingenuity.
- Excellent interpersonal, communication and collaboration skills.
- An innate sense of organization and an aptitude for project management
- A strong interest in understanding and addressing complex research
questions.
- A commitment to promised deadlines.
- An interest in the healthcare industry.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.

Education/Experience
- BA/BS degree in linguistics, or other related fields with advanced
coursework in linguistics
- 0-2 years of work experience in a professional business environment.
- Availability and willingness to travel up to 20% of a working month.

Knowledge/Skills/Abilities:
- Knowledge of the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry or specific
health-related conditions is a plus.
- Proven organizational skills.
- Research experience using the principles of sociolinguistics is preferred.

To apply, please send a resume, and an optional cover letter, to the
application email provided below.
