The Genetics groupis small but dynamic group that develops and applies leading edgeanalytics and approaches to answer a diverse set of questions.Although situated in the Patient Solutions part of the organizationthe group supports the complete R&D pipeline ranging fromtarget identification clinical development and through topostmarketing. The Genetics group supports all the sites andgeographies.
We are looking for a contractor to supportthe analytical workload within the group as well as to be involvedin and potentially lead projects with an outward facing role.
