Meet the team:

Welcome to Dexcom's Behavioral Science team - a multidisciplinary group applying behavioral science, qualitative research, and data-driven insights to shape product strategy, clinical evidence, and patient-centered innovation. Within Behavioral Science, the Rapid Evidence and Translation (REAT) synthesizes published evidence to support strategic and commercial decision-making and translates insights into decision-ready outputs for product and service functions across the organization.

We are seeking a PhD-level Data Scientist with deep behavioral science expertise to join the Behavioral Science team.

This individual will conduct rapid evidence reviews to answer priority business questions, partner with BeSci data teams to translate behavioral insights into measurable outcomes and support the development of evidence-based claims. This is a highly cross-functional role requiring scientific rigor, strong analytical thinking, excellent communication skills, and the ability to convert complex behavioral science concepts into clear, practical recommendations for internal stakeholders.

Contribute to the development of dashboards, insight repositories, and internal tools that make behavioral evidence more accessible and actionable.

• Claims and Evidence Translation: Support the generation of evidence-based claims related to behavioral outcomes, psychosocial value, user engagement, self-management, confidence, satisfaction, and behavior change. Evaluate the strength of available evidence and help determine whether findings are suitable for internal positioning, external communication, or formal claims development.

What makes you successful:

• Experience conducting literature reviews, rapid evidence reviews, systematic or targeted evidence syntheses, or evidence-based strategy work.
• Strong understanding of behavioral science theories, behavior change frameworks, psychosocial outcomes, and patient/user experience research.
• Experience working with quantitative and/or mixed-methods data, including survey data, patient-reported outcomes, real-world data, product engagement data, or behavioral analytics.
