Working in English in Basel

Basel is one of Europe's life-sciences centres, home to major pharmaceutical companies and many suppliers and research groups around them. In research, clinical, regulatory, data and corporate roles at these companies, English is the usual working language.

Swiss German and standard German matter outside the big international employers. Many people who work in Basel live across the border in France or Germany, so check the commuting and permit rules that apply to your nationality.

How we check these jobs

  • Every hour

    We check company careers sites and public job boards every hour, and drop ads that have gone.

  • The working language

    We read the ad itself: the language it is written in, lines such as "our working language is English", and the languages it asks for. We count a job only when that reading is clear.

  • Looks real

    Looks real means the ad is recent, still online and not a repeat of an old post. Check before applying means something looks off, such as an old date or a repost. Ads that look closed are not shown.

  • What we can't see

    Jobs that are never advertised, internal moves, and ads on sites we don't check.
