• Date posted: 12 Dec 2011
• Deadline: 12 Feb 2012

The two-year programme will consist of three rotations in different parts of the Global Development organisation whilst anchored in the Biostatistics skill area. The aim of Biostatistics Graduate Programme is to develop people through extensive exposure to varied biostatistical tasks with a strong focus on competencies such as communication, project management, business understanding, and clinical statistical skills.

What you'll be doing
You will be given a broad range of responsibilities and experience a variety of projects from cross-departmental project work and internal/external stakeholder management and have assignments within pre-submission, submission, and lifecycle management.

You will get a unique insight into the full global development value chain of Novo Nordisk, and you will be part of a highly skilled and motivated international working environment, with dynamic teams, each of which are providing Novo Nordisk with a competitive edge and driving state of the art drug development.

Whilst taking on a broad variety of responsibilities, you will enjoy the privilege of being part of both formal and informal graduate networks. This will allow you to broaden your learning even further, while building your opportunities and relationships across the company.

Scope of the programme
The Biostatistics Graduate Programme is tailored to ensure your full personal and professional development, accelerated by prioritised training and dedicated coaching from experienced colleagues.

The programme comprises three rotations during a two-year period. The first rotation will be in a department in Biostatistics HQ in Denmark. The main purpose of this rotation is an introduction to Biostatistics areas of responsibilities and at least one of our key projects, and to gain hands-on experience. For example you will take part in analysing and reporting one of our clinical trials, and you will be involved in the design on new clinical trials.

In the second rotation we normally send you to one of our affiliates like the USA, China, Japan or India. This will give the graduate exposure to international application of biostatistics in the pharmaceutical industry and a unique international perspective that should prove invaluable as new markets continue to evolve for Novo Nordisk.

This third rotation will most likely take place in HQ in a department with ties to Biostatistics. Possible areas could for instance be Regulatory Affairs, Global Safety, or Global Marketing. This will help build your network and showcase the importance of biostatistics within other areas in drug development and drug commercialisation.

Requirements
You are a top M.Sc. graduate in statistics. You have an international profile and a passion for learning. You are independent, flexible and efficient with a 'can-do' attitude. You have a high level of understanding of practical biostatistical problems as well as the ability to solve tasks within a short timeframe. At the cutting-edge of a highly complex and innovative industry, you'll also need to be able to learn fast, be good at cross functional collaboration, and have the ability to communicate your great ideas well. You must be prepared to invest significant personal effort to meet the expectations and you should proactively take ownership of your areas of responsibility. Finally, the strongest candidates carry some relevant work experience obtained while studying and a desire to work in the pharmaceutical industry.
