Careers in Science

Science is all about making correlations. These correlations are rarely one-to-one and often involve straining out key elements from a host of interconnected material. But gathering the information is only one part of this process. True breakthroughs are often the result of taking a leap of faith. Taking a risk.

This is where science meets insurance. Sound research and concrete information helps underwriters to write profitable business. Swiss Re offers an attractive environment for trained scientists from a wide range of backgrounds; scientists who are able to apply their skills to fields such as underwriting, actuarial science, environmental, biochemical or pharmaceutical research or IT.

Risk assessments are the foundation upon which underwriters base their decisions and risk engineers with specialised knowledge are an essential link in the chain. They are the scientific and technical counterparts ensuring effective risk selection for their corporate clients.
