The Position
Pharmaceutical Industrial Placement in Biosample and Bioanalytics
We are offering an outstanding non-laboratory, office-based opportunity to two Industrial Placement students with a keen interest in understanding clinical trial development, working with multidisciplinary teams of operational, bioanalytical, and biomarker scientists and technical experts dedicated to supporting the execution of Clinical BioX (biosample, biomarker, and bioanalytics) strategies to translate patient biosamples into medicines across our worldwide early phase clinical studies.
These positions are located in Regulated Bioanalysis and Biosample Operations, a department within the pRED (Pharmaceutical Research and Early Development) organization of Roche, which translates world-class science into medical innovation through a diversity of technologies and talent located across research & development sites worldwide.
During the placement, you will be based in the offices of Roche UK at the Welwyn Garden City site. This is not a laboratory-based placement, and candidates will be required to be based in the office.
Each successful candidate will receive full training in relevant business processes, systems, software, and programming for each role, and will be supported by experienced employees that will provide coaching, mentoring, and oversight on a day-to-day basis.
Your Impact
As an industrial placement student, you will primarily focus on contributing to the operational execution of clinical biosample strategies, developing into an autonomous, digitally-proficient professional.
* Operational Leadership: Take autonomy and ownership in managing your time and activities to support the day-to-day biosample operational activities undertaken by Biosample Project Leaders (BPLs).
* Bioanalytical Learning & Application: You will be supported by BioAnalytical Managers (BAMs) to learn the field and application of regulated bioanalysis.
* Collaboration and Stakeholder Management: Demonstrate strong collaboration and team-work by participating in stakeholder and vendor meetings, supporting central laboratory meetings, and collaborating with BPLs and BAMs on innovative initiatives.
* Digital & Professional Excellence: Apply proficient attention to detail when reviewing and creating documentation and digital plans.
* Professional Development: Cultivate a growth and creative mindset while actively acquiring knowledge of scientific and operational methods and applications.
Your profile
You should be an undergraduate in your second year of your Bachelor’s or integrated Master’s degree in a life sciences background. We are looking for someone who thrives in a dynamic, inclusive environment which gives you full accountability for your own contributions and development.
Our commitment
Roche commits to recognizing talent and aptitude. We prioritize encouraging and supporting our employees in their personal journeys by providing a safe, creative space to help them reflect, make decisions, and grow in their career.
