AstraZeneca Biometrics Graduate Programme: Programming - Sweden

Location: Gothenburg, Sweden



Our science lives beyond our labs - our global perspective means we use talent and expertise from all over the world to make our medicines a success. Do you want to join a team of supportive, collaborative and like minded peers and develop your expertise? AstraZeneca seeks Programmers to join the Biometrics functions.



AstraZeneca (AZ) is a global, innovation-driven biopharmaceutical business. We are one of only a handful of companies that spans the full development life-cycle from drug discovery to the commercialisation of prescription medicines for some of the world's most serious diseases. But we are more than one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies. A strong set of values guide our work, and we are resetting expectations of what a bio-pharmaceutical company can be by truly following the science.

Biometrics is the home of early and late stage drug development biometrics activity at AstraZeneca. We support all aspects of clinical development, including strategy, clinical trial design, data collection, analyses, data reporting and interpretation to inform quality decision making on AstraZeneca's drug projects. Our goal is to deliver value to the pipeline through excellence in strategy and delivery, improving decision making, and engaging and shaping the external environment whilst accessing and implementing innovative solutions.



What does the programme involve?



We have opportunities targeted at statistical Programmers with little or no experience of the pharmaceutical industry to work across all stages of development programming activities. You will spend the first two years at AZ working in a structured training programme, working on real drug development projects. In addition, you will receive on-the-job statistical programming training and be part of a global training programme for Biometrics graduates.

You will work in a highly collaborative team including quantitative, technical, regulatory and scientific expertise and together with your colleagues contribute to the technical programming and information components, the documentation and regulatory submission of our drug development programs.
