About the program
The Working in Science Internship Program is designed for last year's students and recent graduates who want to apply what they’ve learned in a real, global biotechnology environment. You’ll contribute to meaningful projects, gain mentorship, and develop skills that set you up for future success.

Department description:

Centralised Monitoring (CM) and Centralised Statistical Monitoring (CSM) are a part of Risk-based Quality Management. Centralised Monitoring leads work with global and clinical project teams guiding them through the study de-risking exercise, helping to identify areas critical to study quality, as well as understand critical data and processes, risks associated with these processes and measures to control such risks. The CM Team builds data analyses, visualizations, notifications and perform data reviews to highlight disturbing signals in accumulating clinical data, which may be indicative of non-compliance with the study protocol, GCP or study procedures. Data Scientists prepare tools for monitoring identified risks, working in a sustained framework. Data mapping for particular tools may require study-based adjustments, testing and validation of delivered solutions. Skillset needed to deliver CM functionalities includes, but is not limited to SQL, R programming & testing and Spotfire visualizations. Various requirements regarding data analysis and optimization of internal solutions provides development opportunities for aspiring data scientists. For people dedicated more to statistics, CSM part of CM provides opportunity to apply their skills in identifying potential risks affecting data integrity such as non-random errors, misconduct, potential fraud in investigational sites etc. CSM is a type of centralized monitoring with statistical analyses performed for a wide range of data collected in clinical trials.
