Would you like to contribute to the safer use of vaccines and medicines for everyone everywhere? We are looking for a Content Specialist to join our Terminology Content Management team in the Portfolio and Product Management department at UMC.

The team consists of health professionals with advanced training in pharmacy. We work closely with product management to develop and maintain the WHODrug portfolio so that it meets customer needs and quality requirements for regulatory compliance and information management. We also help in creating Pharmaceutical Product Identifiers and Global Substance Identifiers following ISO standards for Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP).

Since 1978, Uppsala Monitoring Centre (UMC) has been dedicated to developing, supporting, and expanding the field of pharmacovigilance science and practice.

As a World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre, we support work around the world to examine the potential adverse effects of medicines and vaccines and contribute to safer, more informed care of patients.

We are a diverse, international group of pharmacists, physicians, data scientists, system developers, communicators, and many other professionals motivated by a deep belief that the work we do matters.

What you will do

• Validate and classify drug information for completeness, accuracy and consistency, so that the data meets the quality standards expected for WHODrug coding of reported drugs in individual case safety reports (ICSRs) and clinical trials.
• Help WHODrug users with requests for new drugs.
• Manually code ICSRs.
• Suggest improvements to how we work.

You will also help maintain WHODrug-related products, another part of the team's work.
