The European Medicines Agency (EMA) operates a trainee programme. The programme gives trainees an understanding of the Agency and its role within the activities of the European Union (EU) and provides professional experience in a working environment.
Eligibility
The trainee programme is aimed at university graduates at the beginning of their professional careers. Applicants need to have:
- European Union (EU) or European Economic Area nationality;
- a university degree (minimum Bachelor level) by the deadline for applications;
- a good command of English and knowledge of a second official EU language.
Successful candidates will typically have a background relating to the activities of the Agency, such as pharmacy, medicine, life sciences, healthcare, chemistry, information technology, law (with an interest in pharmaceutical regulatory affairs), human resources, finance, communications, public relations, or library and information science.
Traineeships last for a maximum of twelve months (two consecutive six-month contracts).
There are two possible traineeship intakes per year, starting on 1 October and 1 April.
The application process for the 2015 traineeship intake is now open.
Traineeship grant
The Agency pays a maintenance grant of £1,350 net per month to trainees.
It also pays a travel allowance to compensate for relocation to the United Kingdom and other costs at the start and end of the traineeship.
Location: London, United Kingdom
Deadline for receipt of application forms: 15 June 2015
