Final Call : Biostatistical Specialist for clinical development
Novo Nordisk A/S
Gladsaxe, 1 stilling
- Biostatistics and Data Management
- Denmark - Søborg
Do you wish to work in a highly professional, engaging and global environment where you can use your statistical expertise and quality mind set bringing clinical projects to registration and market? Then you may be one of our new Statistics Specialists.
In Global Development, we are responsible for managing clinical drug development worldwide from early development phases to product introduction. We ensure medical and scientific documentation for clinical submissions and authorities while ensuring that the process lives up to uniform global standards, regulations and business ethics.
About the department
The Biostatistics function in our R&D clinical development organisation currently consists of around 160 Statisticians and Statistical Programmers worldwide. Of these, approximately 100 of us are situated in Denmark, where we are organised in key development project teams of approximately 15 Statisticians and Statistical Programmers that cooperate with our biostatistics affiliates and outsourcing partners as well as stakeholders.
The job
As Statistics Specialist you are responsible for planning and coordinating both standard and more complex and time critical statistical tasks. You are responsible for providing statistical input to project development plans, trial designs, clinical trial protocols, summary documents and publications. You will be involved in presentation and discussion of results both internally and externally, and participate in meetings with regulatory authorities and external collaborators. You handle many assignments concurrently and will work in close collaboration with a team of Statisticians and Statistical Programmers.
You will interact in cross-disciplinary development teams across country borders and communicate statistical issues and ideas to non-statisticians. You can be involved in coaching of less experienced colleagues and be responsible for coordinating and supervising the work of contract houses around the world performing outsourced tasks. Therefore, we expect you to be able to communicate statistical problems and ideas clearly.
Development of methods and processes as well as knowledge-sharing is continuously on-going in Novo Nordisk, especially based on the initiative of the employees. We expect you to take part in our dedicated efforts to make Biostatistics a good and challenging place to work. In exchange we offer great opportunities for on-going training to ensure your continued competency development.
Qualifications
You have a solid theoretical background in statistics corresponding to MSc level and at least eight years of experience within clinical or bio-statistical research. You must be able to act as driver and leading member of the project teams you are parts of, and if you have experience from project management and supervision of colleagues, it will be an advantage. You must thrive in a role where you independently and proactively set direction for your part of the projects while handling several challenging tasks in parallel without compromising the quality of your work. As such, you must be able to create overview, prioritise and bring a flexible and positive mindset when things are moving fast and deadlines are closing in.
Global Development is an organisation with many international employees, and we welcome non-local applicants. We have great experience helping people move to Denmark and will support relocation.
Please notice that applications will be processed as they are received.
Research & Development is vital to Novo Nordisk’s continuous growth. Your ambition and passion is therefore essential to achieve our goal of creating better lives for people living with chronic diseases. That is why working here is rewarding for us – and for you.
