Analytical scientist in pharmaceutical development. Developing new analytical methods to test safety if future medicines.
Yes! I am learning every day! Data Science skills though the apprenticeship and general drug development skills on the job.
Depends on the topic. I enjoy more technical modules such as programming and data viz. I enjoy the 'philosophical' and discussion based modules less.
The amount of time dedicated to covered certain topics should be distributed differently in my option. The workload is quite intense as well.
A lot. Support from line manager when it comes to time management. Technical support from Data Science teams
It is always mentioned we can get support from them. I never did due to lack of time
I think it will pay off in the future
Yes. We have several meetings arranged to charge what we have learned, to share our experiences, various webinars and hackathons
Yes
It is a great place to work where you can continue to learn and develop.
Be yourself. Keep trying if you don't get an offer the first time.
