Exciting Opportunities for Graduate Statisticians 

Influence Development of New Medicines

You'd expect a global pharmaceutical company like GlaxoSmithKline to 
develop  products that define the cutting-edge of today's healthcare 
practice. So it's no surprise that for our statisticians, the prospects 
are equally promising.  Our  Biomedical Data Sciences division is the 
largest within the pharmaceutical industry, and includes statistics groups 
covering non-clinical areas, clinical drug development in a wide range of 
therapeutic areas and a methodological research team.  Exciting 
opportunities have now arisen in the UK Clinical Pharmacology and Clinical 
areas for new and recently qualified Statisticians.  Working closely with 
clinical colleagues, you will apply your statistical knowledge in the 
design and analysis of studies to demonstrate the effectiveness, safety 
and quality of new medicines.  You will prepare and conduct analyses and 
reports for internal and regulatory purposes, as well as contributing to 
external presentations and papers for publication. As part of a team of 
more experienced statisticians, you'll rapidly develop your statistical 
knowledge and expertise. There will also be opportunities to work within 
the broader therapeutic teams, which focus on drug development strategy, 
alongside data managers, clinical scientists, marketing professionals and 
epidemiologists.

You should currently be completing a statistics MSc or PhD degree and have 
the ability to apply your statistical knowledge and logical thinking to 
practical situations. Good communication and interpersonal skills are 
vital, as is your ability to work well in a team and to influence others. 
We offer competitive salaries, benefits, training and development, and are 
committed to the continuous development of your technical skills and 
competencies. Opportunities are available at our sites in Greenford and 
Harlow.
