Novartis Oncology –
Join an Industry Leader
At Novartis Oncology, our mission is to become the world’s premier oncology company by consistently discovering,
developing, and producing broadly available novel therapies that improve and extend the lives of cancer patients.
Our work is about harnessing the power of the imagination. It’s about applying our pooled experience in new ways, exploring new possibilities
and novel pathways, and fi nding better solutions for patients. Our primary goal is to research and develop new and more effective ways to treat
cancer—in essence, to bring our vision of research to life. Our passion is about believing in our ability to change the way cancer is treated—and
acting on this belief. Evidence of turning our thought into action can be seen in our array of innovative products designed to treat a variety of can-
cers. It is evident through our efforts in medical education, and through our unprecedented level of support, education, and fi nancial assistance
for patients. Our portfolio provides a broad range of innovative therapies and practical solutions that enhance the lives of patients and their fami-
lies. Our efforts to discover and develop innovative approaches for the treatment of cancer have produced breakthrough medicines such as the
leukemia therapy Gleevec®/Glivec®; the breast cancer agent Femara® and Zometa® for the treatment of cancer-related bone complications.
We have approximately 3800 employees and operate in 50 countries. Our main locations include our global offi ces in Florham Park, New Jersey
and Basel, Switzerland.
Biostatistics and Statistical Reporting opportunities
At Novartis Oncology Global Development, we believe our people are our greatest strength. It is through their passion for our work that we can
provide novel therapies to patients in need. Within our Global Oncology Biostatistics and Statistical Reporting organization, we have several out-
standing opportunities available for statisticians and statistical programmers to be based in our global offi ces in New Jersey.
Skill and Experience Requirements
For both statisticians and statistical programmers, excellent quantitative abilities and communication skills (written, verbal and presentation) are
a must with a high level of analytical and conceptual ability in order to provide strategic focus to projects. Candidates must have a proven track
record of strong execution and results. Educationally, a PhD is preferred for our Biostatistics opportunities.
For our Programming opportunities a Bachelors degree is required and an advanced degree is strongly preferred. Education and experience
in Statistics is highly preferred. These positions require experience in the use of statistical software, particularly SAS. Experience analyzing and
reporting clinical research data is highly desired especially experience with Oncology data.
