About us:

At LifeArc, our ambition is to make life science life changing.

We do this by advancing scientific discoveries beyond the lab, faster, so that they can shape the next generation of diagnostics, treatments, and cures.

Working at the cutting edge of translational science and as the early-stage translation specialists, we progress scientific discoveries on their journey to becoming a medicine, diagnostic or intervention that can improve patients' lives.

Our work begins by seeking out innovative science, then helping to develop this to a point where there is a clinical and commercial pathway for others to invest the time and money to take it further forward.

We want to hear from people who are as passionate as we are about making life science life changing that can improve patients' lives.

A bit about the role:

The Opportunity Assessment Group (OAG) provides a central resource for LifeArc, researching and analysing the potential of new and existing biomedical opportunities.

The team performs detailed scientific assessments as well as analysis of competition and intellectual property (IP).

OAG performs an essential role in helping to shape LifeArc's portfolio including our Translational Challenges, in-house drug discovery and diagnostic projects and investment decisions by the Early Ventures teams, as well as diligence to inform LifeArc's broader strategic direction.

Job purpose:

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is considering working in translational science and a career path that would advance their skills and knowledge outside of laboratory science.

Education & experience required:

Desirable:

Experience in competitive intelligence, analysis, and reporting

Skills and Strengths we are looking for during the assessment process:

Quick thinker
Excellent attention to detail
Ability to adapt in a fastpaced environment across a broad range of biomedical fields
Articulate able to clearly present the strengths and weaknesses of an opportunity in written and verbal form

What we can offer you:

Internship placement with an exciting and dynamic team within LifeArc
A highquality training programme that would give you a baseline understanding of how to assess the scientific, commercial and intellectual property landscape around biomedical opportunities
Exposure to translational science in a commercial setting, allowing you to participate in decisions around investments, grant funding and drug/diagnostic development collaborations
Because we understand everyone has different requirements, our flexible benefits allow you to choose those which are important to you. Our pension scheme offers employer contributions of up to 12%, private health insurance, and annual leave of 31 days PLUS bank holidays

Join us, and you'll have the scope to be creative and take measured risks. You'll be rewarded for your curiosity, for working as one team, and for learning fast.
