Epidemiology Phd Summer Internship

Epidemiology Phd Summer Internship

Upper Providence, PA

Description of Department: In the Epidemiology team, we are committed to diversity as a goal and work to ensure diversity is infused into our intern cohort which serves as a critical source of early career talent for the organization. At GSK, we focus on creating an inclusive organization where all employees feel engaged and know their work makes an important contribution. An inclusive environment welcomes different knowledge, perspectives, experiences, and working styles from across our global population. This not only enhances individual creativity and innovation, but also makes good business sense. Epidemiology at GSK Pharma comprises a team of highly-skilled subject matter experts who provide epidemiological and analytical leadership to influence decision-making across drug discovery, development, and commercialization. We analyze a wide variety of data sources including electronic health records, administrative claims, patient registries, and clinical trial data. Our work supports drug development by providing real-world insights into patterns of disease occurrence, healthcare utilization, and the safety and effectiveness of treatments.

Job Description: We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic summer intern who is interested in learning more about the application of epidemiology in the pharmaceutical industry and the use of observational data to generate evidence in support of GSK products across the drug development lifecycle. The intern may work on the following projects: literature review to characterize target patient populations for medicines in development and/or observational database analyses to generate descriptive data for target patient populations. Interns will be exposed to ways of working in the research and development (R&D) arm of a large global pharmaceutical company and gain knowledge and experience in how epidemiology, observational data analyses, and health services research are used in R&D. Interns will sit in the Epidemiology team, part of the larger Value Evidence Outcomes and Medical Engagement department. They will have the opportunity to interact with and understand some of the key groups that Epidemiology interacts with such as Real World Data Analytics, Health Outcomes, and Safety partners. Basic
