GSK Oncology is committed to discovering and developing new therapies with the potential to change the lives of patients with cancer. The Oncology Clinical Development Statistics group is seeking exceptionally talented Statisticians to provide end-to-end statistical leadership across oncology evidence generation—from early development through registration and lifecycle support—using innovative trial designs and modern statistical methods (including simulation, interim strategies, Bayesian approaches, and external/real-world data) to inform key development decisions.

For candidates seeking to be located at our Stevenage site, this role will temporarily be based at Stevenage. However, the Company plans to relocate its offices to Cambridge, UK. The location of this role will therefore subsequently change to Cambridge, UK in accordance with timelines to be set by the Company. The relocation is currently proposed to take effect by early 2029.
