And are you ready to join a team of programmers and analysts using advanced methods for analysing real world data to improve people’s lives? Then this may be your opportunity to pursue an exciting career in a global organisation.

 

In Global Development, we are responsible for managing clinical drug development worldwide from early development phases to product launch and life cycle management. We provide medical and scientific documentation for clinical submissions and authorities while ensuring that the process lives up to global standards, regulations and business ethics.

 

About the department

The department of Data Science is part of Global Development and located in Søborg, Denmark. The department was established in 2017 with a focus on real world data and advanced analytics. In Data Science, we analyse many different data sources to generate evidence to support clinical drug development projects and launched products. You will be joining a team of highly professional, engaged and motivated programmers and analysts.

 

The position

As a data science programmer, you will contribute software engineering and data management skills in a team of analysts that, together with epidemiologists and stakeholders from across the organisation, create real world evidence from data generated through digital health initiatives, in-licensed databases, observational studies and other data sources.

 

You will be responsible for writing, documenting and maintaining code in SQL, R and Python (also on Spark) in order to aggregate, standardise, document, visualise and continuously deliver analysis-ready data sets derived from millions of raw data points. Your duties will be diverse and will include driving the collection of stakeholder input on data transformations and being responsible for storing and managing non-standardised data in collaboration with Global IT. Part of the job is to continuously update your knowledge of formats and coding of data.

 

Qualifications

You have a Master’s degree in Biostatistics, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer science, Life sciences or equivalent and preferably a PhD degree in a field relevant for the position. In addition you have 3-5 years of experience from the pharmaceutical, medical or biological area, with managing, standardising, documenting and programming comprehensive data in preparation for data analysis.

 

You have experience transforming millions of rows of data by writing advanced, well performing and maintainable code in SQL, R and Python. You know how to get good performance from relational (and NOSQL) databases and preferably also Spark. Experience with database normalisation, git, Linux, R/Shiny, project coordination and technical writing is preferred.

 

We emphasise accountability and reaching goals through a collaborative effort, thus it is essential that you are able to use your good interpersonal and communication skills to achieve results together with others. You enjoy responsibility and complete your assignments proactively and within timelines. Finally, you are able to communicate fluently in English, both in speech and writing.
