Intern Behavioral Epidemiology

Harmonization and standardization of definitions related to tobacco and nicotine exposure is paramount to ensure accurate estimation of the impact of potential reduced risk products on public health. The Epidemiology and Surveillance group has launched a taskforce working on the development of a glossary that would facilitate mutual understanding of key concepts around tobacco and nicotine use and patterns and can enable exposure data being collected and communicated in the same way across various functions. The role of the Intern - would involve conducting comprehensive literature reviews on tobacco use patterns, including data abstraction, assembling terms into a glossary, and formulating definitions for these terms that would be submitted to the taskforce working group to reach consensus. The Intern would also gain experience in project management tasks and have the opportunity to work on a multi-disciplinary team of scientists in behavioral science and epidemiology.

The student we are looking for should have the following skills and experience:

• Currently studying for his/her Master in epidemiology

• Expertise in literature review, concepts related to exposure assessment, database management

• Experience in qualitative research, compilation of information from various data sources, report writing

• Interested in implementing a process to create a shared language

• Fluent in English

If you are also good at leading a wide variety of studies and taking ownership, you enjoy learning while operating in a changing environment, you are excellent in delivering results in a timely manner and have an effective an impactful communication style, you are the one we want for our internship within our Epidemiology and Surveillance group at Philip Morris Products SA, based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.

JOIN A GLOBAL MARKET LEADER

PMI is the world’s leading international tobacco company, with six of the world’s top 15 international brands and products sold in more than 180 markets. In addition to the manufacture and sale of cigarettes, including the number one global cigarette brand, and other tobacco products, PMI is engaged in the development and commercialization of Reduced-Risk Products (“RRPs”). RRPs is the term we use to refer to products that present, are likely to present, or have the potential to present less risk of harm to smokers who switch to these products versus continued smoking. We have a range of RRPs in various stages of development, scientific assessment and commercialization. Because our RRPs do not burn tobacco, they produce far lower quantities of harmful and potentially harmful compounds than found in cigarette smoke.
