Our diverse placement fields

Here’s your chance to shine when your academic knowledge of instrumental analysis (e.g. HPLC, UV-VIS, SDS-PAGE) is strong. In the Quality Control Department, you’ll develop and validate analytical methods, generate analyses and assessments of investigational medicinal products and document your work according to GMP guidelines. It goes without saying that this will all take place under the competent supervision of our experienced specialists.

You will manufacture investigational medicinal products as part of worldwide Phase I ‑ IV clinical studies. When doing so, you will collaborate on the manufacture of the relevant pharmaceutical forms, package them according to the requirements of the clinical studies and ship them to their destination. Furthermore, you will be proactive in attending to the qualification of equipment and validation of processes. If you have a particularly good knowledge of pharmaceutical technology, then this is exactly the right place for you. You will then be well versed in GMP-compliant production and packaging. The main thing you should bring to the table is meticulous accuracy.

Pharmaceutical technology will be your favourite subject, and you’ll also have an interest in instrumental analysis (e.g. HPLC, UV-VIS) in the industry. These are the ideal prerequisites for this internship, during which you’ll be manufacturing medicines on a laboratory scale, handling associated analytical issues, documenting everything according to GMP guidelines and applying the manufacturing methods in production.

You will check dosage forms on a daily basis. Are pre-filled syringes fit for air transportation and do drops remain effective even in hot conditions? You’ll find this out by carrying out analyses to determine content and purity, drug release analyses and analyses of the chemical and physical properties of investigational medicinal products. And, naturally, by leveraging your first-rate expertise in instrumental analysis (e.g. UV-VIS, HPLC). You’ll document your findings in accordance with GMP guidelines.

Your team will work on product information texts, such as Summaries of Product Characteristics (SPCs) and patient information leaflets (PILs), to ensure consumers are able to use the medicinal products correctly and all information texts comply with the relevant statutory requirements. You’ll also collaborate with specialists from our various different departments. You’ll take particular care when revising texts in German and English and research medical/pharmaceutical issues, and thereby assist with the necessary licensing processes.

Your team will be responsible for all aspects of international licensing procedures. In addition to actual licensing, this will also entail obtaining and, where necessary, amending medicinal product licences within and outside the EU. You’ll co-ordinate the relevant internal and external activities with the pertinent international country offices and be involved in the associated technical checks. It is particularly important that all documents for authorities are also created in English, a task you’ll also be involved in.

In this team, you’ll assess the pharmaceutical quality of our products and compile the necessary dossiers for the medicinal product licences. The multitude of crossovers between the team and Pharmaceutical Development, Manufacturing, Quality Control and Licensing departments will enable you to very quickly gain a broad insight into the work of a pharmacist in the pharmaceutical industry.
