Scientist in Vivo
About the position
We are now looking to recruit an In Vivo Scientist with excellent laboratory skills and a drive for innovation to join the Bioscience in vivo department within the Early Respiratory and Immunology (eR&I) R&D unit located in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Respiratory and immunology are two of AstraZeneca’s main therapy areas. From a research perspective we work to understand, treat, modify, and ultimately cure respiratory disease with an emphasis on four respiratory diseases with significant unmet medical need: asthma, COPD, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Chronic Cough. In addition, we also focus on immunology-driven disease areas including rheumatology, dermatology, gastrointestinal and inflammatory diseases driven by eosinophilic immune dysfunction.
The successful candidate will join a highly motivated team that works closely together with other departments focusing on target identification, drug formulation, translational science, in vitro assay development and drug metabolism/pharmacokinetics to support discovery projects and to drive exciting new research. Are you ready to join us?
Responsibilities
As a vital member of our in vivo team, you will contribute to progress our drug discovery projects. Your role will be mainly lab-based in which you will be actively involved and responsible to coordinate, perform and analyze in vivo studies. While we expect you to be independent, we are also looking for someone that thrives in a team setting and contributes to the success of others.
Your profile
• B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in relevant subjects or equivalent level of understanding developed through experience in drug discovery or early development.
• Excellent technical and experimental In vivo experience and skills, including rodent handling, drug administration and collection of biological samples. Ability to coordinate and perform respiratory disease and mechanistic models.
• Valid certificates to work with live animals in Sweden.
? Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
? Maintain the highest standards of animal welfare and ethical compliance and ensure integrity of generated data. Familiar with using Good Statistical Practice in animal research and applying the 3R’s (reduction, refinement, and replacement) across the full range of studies.
? Good generic computer proficiency including Microsoft Office.
