The open evening will be held at the company's Renaissance Boulevard, King of Prussia office on Thursday, September 13th, 2018 between 5:00 pm and 7:30 pm. Cytel invites clinical trial professionals, in particular, those working in data management, statistics, and statistical programming to attend and learn more about its expansion plans and career opportunities. The event will feature inspiring presentations on industry career trends, followed by informal networking and refreshments.

Chris Brown, Cytel’s Senior Director and Global Head of Recruiting, commented, “We have a number of career development opportunities for talented data managers, biostatisticians, and programmers at our King of Prussia site. We decided to host this open evening to give prospective candidates within the region the chance to learn more about Cytel and our unique working culture in an informal setting.  While the evening is primarily intended to highlight positions available at this site, we naturally welcome approaches from candidates interested in roles at Cytel’s other global locations.”
