Who Are You?

A Biostatistician with a passion for clinical development and analysis, adept at utilizing advanced statistical methods, you will support Phase I-IV clinical studies. You are excited and enthusiastic. You motivate your teams to do great work and collaborate easily with your clients. You never settle for what is, but always push clinical development forward to what it could be. You motivate others to do the same.

Sponsor-dedicated:

Working fully embedded within one of our pharmaceutical clients, with the support of Cytel right behind you, you'll be at the heart of our client's innovation. As a Biostatistician you will be dedicated to one of our global pharmaceutical clients; a company that is driving the next generation of patient treatment, where individuals are empowered to work with autonomy and ownership. This is an exciting time to be a part of this new program.

Position Overview:

As a Biostatistician, you’ll perform ad-hoc or exploratory analyses to support submission or Health Authority Questions. Having exposure to regulatory work experience is a bonus, for example, if you understand the regulatory questions and translating them to statistical problems, collaborating effectively, with clinical and regulatory colleagues.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
