425 job opportunities in Swedish and Danish pharma industry!
Despite the summer holiday season in the Nordic countries there are several job opportunities available in
the pharma industry. A company home page inventory of open industry positions in Sweden and Denmark, as per August 12th, shows that there are more than 400 openings available, see table 1. The inventory does not cover all pharma companies in the two countries and thus more openings are likely to be available.Table 1.
