Welwyn, United Kingdom Roche Full time

The Position

Roche Welwyn Data Science is delighted to announce the opening of its 7th intern scheme for Statistics/Mathematics/Epidemiology PhD students within the UK for summer 2024. 

Our biostatistics summer interns will work for 10 weeks at our Roche Welwyn site under the supervision of experienced data scientists and will receive a competitive salary. Interns will work on theoretical or applied problems with direct relevance to Roche’s ongoing clinical drug-development in areas such as oncology, immunology, infectious disease, ophthalmology, or neuroscience.

There will be opportunities to interact with Roche’s global network of over 600 statisticians/data scientists. As well as engaging in an exciting research topic, interns will have the opportunity to experience first-hand the work of statisticians/data scientists within the pharmaceutical industry, and how they add value to clinical development plans. Interns will learn both new technical and non-technical skills highly relevant for their future careers. At the end of the internship, students will give a department-wide presentation on their research topic.

Testimonials:

Hannah, University of Liverpool: "I was very lucky to be able to spend a summer working at Roche. I worked on a project which I felt was of real interest and importance to my supervisors, and was provided the support and time to learn about neuroimmunology, an area that is new to me. Along the way I learned valuable statistical principles from experts that will influence my approach in future PhD research and beyond. Data scientists at Roche were open and welcoming, and I was very grateful to gain genuine insights into their essential role." 

Maite, King’s College University: "My internship in Data Sciences at Roche was a very meaningful experience. Not only did I acquire new statistical techniques, but, more importantly, I gained an understanding of the drug development lifecycle and the overall process of R&D in the pharmaceutical industry. The working culture at Roche was incredibly nurturing and supportive, and I had the pleasure of building connections with a diverse group of data scientists."

Requirements:

Applicants must currently be on a PhD program within the UK in the areas of Statistics/Mathematics/Epidemiology and should be available for a face to face interview on the 2nd February 2024. They should also have a valid visa that allows them to work in the UK. Applicants may undertake the internship part time while carrying out their PhD. Authorization of the university is essential for a part time internship.

Application process:

To apply for this exciting opportunity please submit your CV with a covering letter outlining what PhD course you are currently taking and why you are interested in this program. Experience within the fields of medical statistics or health data is highly valued. Please also describe any skills or experience you have to the role, and if you are eligible for working in the UK.
