hela Sverige Are you a scientist with Biomarker Discovery experience? Would you like to be part of a company where absolutely everyone can thrive?
To further strengthen our expertise and capacity we are currently recruiting a world-class scientist. Do you want to join our team?
Main Duties and Responsibilities
Our RIA Target & Translational Science (TTS) department is an agile environment with a science focused culture. Our mission is to understand disease mechanisms at the molecular level, identify the most effective target and the right patient population and close the gap between bench science and bedside clinical practice.
One of our key aspects is development of biomarkers to drive patient segmentation, demonstrate target engagement, guide dose selection and bridge to clinical outcome. As Biomarker Scientist, you are accountable for discovery of respiratory precision and target engagement biomarkers and their development and validation.
You will:
* Be responsible for design, execution, interpretation and reporting of biomarker studies
* Take an expert role for development of technologies to enable the respiratory biomarker discovery platform
* Invent and discover novel biomarkers
* Dedicatedly exploit available omics-initiatives
* Validate knowledge extracted from big omics-datasets through robust biomarker analysis in human tissue
* Use experimental medicine (MeMo studies) to identify and validate biomarkers and support recall by genotype clinical study designs
* Drive innovation in Biomarker Discovery through internal scientific development and external collaborations
* Make AZ scientifically visible by publishing scientific papers and presenting data at conferences
Essential Requirements
This is a role that requires a strong scientific background as well as excellent technical skills. You need outstanding team working skills and a history of successful collaborations. Furthermore, you are expected to have a deep understanding of the drug discovery and development process from lead identification through clinical trials
* PhD within relevant field
* Proven experimental drive and background in basic science related to respiratory research
* Technical expertise in specific biomarker discovery and analysis platform including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, lipidomics, NGS, mass spec etc.
* Experience and deep understanding of respiratory disease biology including understanding of molecular pathways and mechanisms
* Experience and knowledge of the biological basis for patient segmentation
* Familiar with biomarker invention and implementation
* Good networking and interpersonal skills
* Track record of delivering state-of-the-art biomarkers to projects in discovery and/or development setting
* Strong publication record
* Understanding of relevant technologies and methods along with scientific laboratory skills
Desirable Requirements
* Post-doc experience
