Quintiles - Seeking Candidates for Pharmaceutical Consulting Positions - BS, MS, PhD - Fall 2015



Can you please share with BIOL, CHEM, BCHM, and PSYC recent and upcoming BS/MS/PHD graduates? Interested persons should apply via: http://www.quintiles.com/careers?

Note from alumnus, James Turnbull:  “The interview process does involve case studies.  They will not be pharmaceutical based-in nature, but a level of understanding of how to address case studies will be very important.  Coming from Georgia Tech students will be well versed in how to handle/address a problem, but I know I was not formally introduced to case studies until graduate school.”
