Interns/ Industrial Trainees
Every year, we recruit around 70-100 degree students onto our 12-month Industrial Trainee Scheme, which consists of lab and non-lab paid placements across all areas of our business. Throughout your placement, you'll contribute to live departmental projects and be given real responsibility.
It's a fantastic opportunity to gain an insight into how one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies operates, while advancing your own academic knowledge and technical skills. Our Sandwich site is modern with various benefits including, staff restaurant, social club, health club offering a gym and organised classes and a Pfizer bus service from surrounding towns. What's more, you'll enjoy a competitive salary, 25.5 days holiday, as well as wide range of other benefits.
The departments recruiting for lab-based Industrial Trainees include Analytical R&D, Research Biology and Chemistry, Drug Safety R&D, Pharmacokinetic, Dynamics and Metabolism (PDM), Pharmaceutical Sciences and Process Chemistry.
The departments recruiting for non-lab/non-science based Industrial Trainees include Academic Liaison, Computational Sciences, Clinical R&D, Environmental Health & Safety (EHS), Finance, Informatics, Regulatory Affairs, Statistics and Supply Chain.

We will not accept applications from post graduates or from students looking for a placement of less than 12 months.
The recruitment campaign for placements starting in September 2009 is now live and will be open for 1 month. All the campaign information can be found via this link here. Once you have read the information and chosen the placement you wish to apply to please complete this application form.
Closing date for applications is Friday 24th October. Applications received after this point may be considered but priority will be given to those that meet the correct deadlines.
Interviews will take place throughout November and December.

If you are living outside of Kent we will also arrange overnight accommodation so you can have a look round the local area.
