Are you a toxicologist excited by an opportunity to be a key player in the discovery of safe innovative medicines? Would you like to apply your expertise in a company that is accelerating innovative science and turns ideas into life changing medicines? Join us to be part of the development of future treatments of respiratory diseases!

We are now recruiting a Project Toxicologist / Toxicology Project Leader to join the Respiratory, Inflammation and Autoimmunity (RIA) Safety function at AstraZeneca's dynamic R&D site in Gothenburg, Sweden. For the right candidate, placement in Cambridge, UK is also an option.

In a multidisciplinary environment you will play a key role in progressing a rich and diverse pipeline of both small and large molecules.

As a Project Toxicologist / Toxicology Project Leader, you will combine your experience in toxicology and drug development with strong communication and interpersonal skills to communicate across levels of internal and external stakeholders. In this role, you will be key for the progression of drug candidates to deliver novel medicines to patients within respiratory disease.

We are a diverse international department that comprises project toxicologists, discovery safety specialists, respiratory safety experts and experimental scientists. As part of Clinical Pharmacology & Safety Sciences (CPSS), which contains all non-clinical safety functions that support the entire AstraZeneca Portfolio, we have a strong focus on talent development. You will be able to develop your skills, competences and scientific leadership by working together with leaders in investigative toxicology, regulatory toxicology, drug discovery and development, cell biology, and predictive safety science.

* Author high-level regulatory documents (e.g. INDs and IMPDs) and contribute to regulatory interactions with health authorities
* Provide specialist nonclinical expertise for evaluation of in-licensing and out-licensing opportunities
* Contribute to the delivery of the RIA Safety department strategy and objectives

Requirements

* A PhD, or university degree with extensive relevant experience, in Toxicology or equivalent life-science subject is required.
* Experience working within a pharmaceutical project environment, preferably with a primary focus on toxicology science and with knowledge and experience of drug development
* Experience in providing expert design and interpretation of toxicology programs
* Clear project leadership skills required to lead and manage the safety assessment contribution to a portfolio of projects, ability to operate with sensitivity and flexibility within an ever-evolving organisational matrix of project and line management, both functionally and across the business
* Significant skills of influencing and persuasion
* Eagerness for scientific excellence, investigation of mechanisms of toxicity and translation of insights to risk assessment
* Willingness to challenge conventional thinking and implement creative ideas balanced with a high regard and understanding for the regulatory framework in which AstraZeneca operates is expected
