RWE Programmer Intern (Data Science and Statistical programming in R)

Join IQVIA as Data Analyst Programming Intern with Real-World Evidence and Methods Generation Team in EMEA and contribute to high-quality scientific research for global pharmaceutical and healthcare clients. This internship offers a unique opportunity to apply your skills on live client projects in a professional setting.

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.

Your primary responsibilities as a Programmer Intern in our team will be wide ranging, but may involve:

• Contributing to the programming of the analysis of real-world data (RWD) studies (data cleaning, data pre-processing and analysis, reporting of summarised results and graphs), programming in R.
• Gaining experience with health care data and statistical methods.
• Contributing to internal initiatives for automation of the project delivery processes (R packages development, R Shiny applications development, creating documentation, manuals, presentations).
• Collaborate with people with different roles (statisticians, epidemiologists, medics) and from international teams.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need:

• To be currently studying for (or recently completed) an MSc or BSc in Software engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, Bioinformatics, or in another Scientific or quantitative discipline.
• Programming skills in R or in another programming language.
• A proactive, creative, innovative and pragmatic approach to problem solving and an ability to think critically and independently.
• Ability to achieve results within a multi-cultural and geographically diverse team in a fast-paced, changing environment.
• Fluency in spoken and written English
