Complement your writing with compelling charts and graphs? Scour databases and speak to analyst colleagues to generate original content? Network and build contacts while turning around timely reports from a scientific or industry conference? Research and write a feature on an important area of pharmaceutical development? Develop new formats for presenting valuable information? Then we want to hear from you.
Join the China editorial team for Scrip/Pink Sheet and lead the news agenda reporting on and analysing developments in the global pharmaceutical industry.
