The GSK Graduate Researcher Program:

The GSK Graduate Researcher Program is a government-funded, industry-hosted initiative developed to help bridge the gap between industry and research.

The paid 12-month work placement program is available to PhD graduates or post-doc researchers. The aim of the program is to provide interns with a diverse range of development opportunities, experiences and exposure with a view to improving Australia's success in terms of translation and commercialisation of health and medical research; and expanding the capacity and capability.

At GSK, we're excited to embark on this program with the support of MTPConnect. We are driven by science, curiosity and a desire to transform the lives of our patients. The roles we have identified to form our 2022 GSK Graduate Researcher Program will lead to important, substantive work.

We anticipate that the 2022 PhDs joining our business will bring critical thinking and creativity into our business, while at the same time, we're committed to offering these individuals hands-on insights and training in the corporate environment and the work we do to bring our scientific discoveries into patients' hands.
