Reading University
The Careers and Academic Liaison Committee (CALC) are planning the annual Careers Fair Event on Wednesday 3rd February 2016, to be hosted at the University of Reading. As well as MSc students, the invitation is extended to final year BSc and PhD students with an interest in pharmaceutical statistics and statistical programming.
The half-day event will include individual company stands, a series of themed presentations and a workshop. Each presentation will be run by a different company, with each company focusing on different elements of the pharmaceutical industry as decided by PSI CALC.
We would also like to invite universities to run a stand to advertise statistical MSc or PhD courses, or university affiliated statistical consulting units, so that students can be made fully aware of their options.
This event is open to all pharmaceutical companies and CROs. This is an excellent opportunity to raise the profile of your company or university with students who are interested in a career in pharmaceutical statistics and for the first time this year we are offering additional sponsorship opportunities. It’s also a chance to network with other companies and with the universities who are training our future statisticians and programmers.
Invitations will be sent out early in November, but if you don’t hear from us and you’d like to request an invitation, or for more information, please contact us at careers@psiweb.org.
Highlights from the 2015 event can be viewed at the link below:
An introductory course giving an overview of the pharmaceutical industry and the drug development process as a whole, aimed at those with 1-3 years' experience. It comprises of six 2-day sessions covering a range of topics including Research and Development, Toxicology, Data Management and the Role of a CRO, Clinical Trials, Reimbursement, and Marketing.
Our monthly webinar explores examples of innovative data visualisations relevant to our day to day work.

The UK government have recently announced that level 7 apprenticeships must be fully funded by the employer from January 2026, for any apprentice over the age of 21. With funding for MSc's at an all time low, and universities courses facing closures, the apprenticeship scheme remains as important as ever, as a tool to encourage new statisticians into our industry. In this dedicated meeting, Valerie Millar (chair of the apprenticeship scheme) will provide full updates on the government changes and seek feedback and ideas from employers, universities and apprentices on how to keep this scheme successfully running for many years to come.
This 1-hour webinar will be an opportunity to hear about the methodology and first results of the iRISE consortium. iRISE is working towards a better understanding of reproducibility and the interventions that work to improve it.
