The GlaxoSmithKline Residential Chemistry Training Experience (2010)

This is a fully funded week-long training course designed to give you practical experience of the work of a graduate chemist in the pharmaceutical industry. Based in the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) research chemistry laboratories we will provide you with personalised laboratory tuition together with coaching in interview technique, presentation skills and working in teams.

This successful programme is now in its seventh year and will be held at the GSK Medicines Research Centre in Stevenage, Hertfordshire on 12th - 17th September 2010.

The Training Experience is one approach that GSK uses to encourage high calibre chemists from a variety of backgrounds to apply for positions in the pharmaceutical industry; therefore:

• You should be a chemistry undergraduate about to enter your final year of study.
• Applications are particularly invited from ethnic minority undergraduates.
• Applications from mature students who have elected to study chemistry at a later stage in their career and,
• Applications from chemistry graduates who have taken a career break or moved into another area of work/business and wish to return to a career in chemistry in the pharmaceutical industry, are also welcomed.

To apply electronically, please request an application form using the following email address: uzy55557@gsk.com
