Join IQVIA London as a Biostatistician Intern in the Real-World Evidence and Methods Generation team and help us deliver high-quality scientific research to our clients in the global pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.
The internship offered by the group is a mutually beneficial arrangement where IQVIA aims to provide an entry-level candidate with an opportunity to apply their studies in a professional setting on live client projects related to their field of study.
Our goal is to contribute to the body of scientific evidence that allows medical practitioners to treat patients in the most effective way, and health systems to include as many patients as possible.
We use data, collected for clinical and other purposes to answer research questions such as "which treatment works best in the real world, beyond the clinical trial setting?" Our fast paced and supportive environment attracts individuals who care deeply about the quality, timeliness and subsequent impact of their work; who thrive when exposed to the scale and variety of scientific challenges we face.

- Supporting with developing abstracts, manuscripts and/or presentations to conferences for projects
- Contribution to improving operational efficiencies of workflows, including writing of internal guidance documents (e.g., SOPs and quality management documents)

- MSc, PhD or equivalent in statistics, biostatistics, epidemiology or in a related discipline
- Statistical programming skills in a statistical package (ideally SAS and/or R)
