Are you a Statistician - experienced or in the beginning of your career? Do you have an appetite to use statistical methods to develop life-changing medicines? If you would like to apply your expertise in a global company pushing the boundaries of science - join us!


At AstraZeneca, we put patients first and strive to meet their unmet needs worldwide. Working here means being entrepreneurial, thinking big and working together to make the impossible a reality. If you are swift to action, confident to lead, willing to collaborate, and curious about what science can do, then you're our kind of person



We are offering opportunities for Statisticians and Statistical Leaders at several different career levels, depending on your previous experience. Our Late R&I (Respiratory & Immunology) Biometrics team is dedicated to the development of innovative treatment of Respiratory, Immunology and Infectious diseases. You will join a global, diverse and cross-functional environment where you will get personal and professional development.

If you want to learn every day, this is the right place for you. Working across our global Therapy Areas, there are plenty of opportunities to develop and grow as an individual. There is no better place to apply your Biometrics expertise in a new and different way.



In this role, we will give you the chance to utilise your statistical expertise in the design, analysis, and interpretation of clinical trial programs; submission and defence of regulatory filings; and the generation of evidence to support product commercialisation and reimbursement.



Main Duties and Responsibilities

You will use your statistical know-how to contribute to the design and progress of clinical trial programs. You may already be equipped to lead statistical employees, either by technical leadership or line management. We offer a role suited perfectly for your competence.

Representing AstraZeneca to Health Authorities and Reimbursement & Payer Organisations for specific projects
*

Apply expert skills to investigate and use standard, as well as novel, statistical approaches for relevant statistical issues



Essential Requirements

We are looking for an individual who can focus on solving challenging problems through teamwork and partnerships. If you have previous experience from the pharma industry, it's seen as a great advantage. You are a specialist, or seek to be a specialist in your field, and you know that the best results are achieved by utilising the strengths of every individual.

*

You have a Master's or Doctorate degree in Statistics, Biostatistics, Mathematics or similar area
*

You possess excellent interpersonal skills, especially when communicating statistical concepts to non-statisticians
