Statistician Intern
$54k - $66kCostello Medical
Role Summary
You will typically be working on several projects across a variety of therapeutic areas at any one time, which could include critically appraising and interpreting complex statistical analyses, planning and performing analyses of clinical trial data or synthesising evidence using Bayesian and frequentist (network) meta-analysis techniques. The results of each analysis can feed into publications, value materials, health economic models or health technology assessment submissions. You will therefore be exposed to a wide variety of our services and a broad range of therapeutic areas. Interns receive extensive one-to-one training on the technical aspects of our statistics work, as well as project management and effective client communication.
Career Prospects After the Internship During the internship program, individuals performing well may be given the opportunity to extend their internship to 6 months (note that this is dependent on business need). When this happens, it allows our interns to further develop their skills and potentially gain experience of other areas of the company (again, dependent on business need as well as the individual's interests).
Additionally, there is the opportunity for strong candidates to apply for the Statistician role and join our expanding team on a permanent basis. Many of our Statistician Interns move into a permanent role at Costello Medical. To learn more about a typical day for a Statistician at Costello Medical, please click here:
