CAREERS SESSION 18 DECEMBER - MANCHESTER
|
The event was a great success - about 60 post-docs and final year PhD students from the biomedical and life sciences departments of Manchester University and others from the North West Hub of the UK GRAD programme met with some 25 medical writing and communications professionals for a highly engaging session which presented medical writing as an attractive career option. We hope to repeat the event at other locations in the near future.
We explained how areas of the UK such as Cheshire, London, Oxfordshire and West Sussex are home to numerous leading medical communications agencies that serve the global pharmaceutical industry... and they’re crying out for good medical writers!
These agencies are looking for individuals with:
a doctorate in a bioscience subject, ideally post-doctoral research experience
a genuine enthusiasm for science and its application to the world of medicine
a flair for writing about science and medicine
the ability to work independently within a small-team environment.
