At AstraZeneca we turn ideas into life changing medicines and strive to continuously meet the unmet needs of patients worldwide. Working here means being entrepreneurial, thinking big, and working together to make the impossible a reality. If you are swift to action, confident to lead, willing to collaborate, and curious about what science can do, then you're our kind of person.

We continually push the boundaries of science to deliver medicines that treat diseases across our main therapy areas. Through our integration with Alexion, this now includes expanding the limits of scientific research to better understand rare diseases and to discover new life-changing treatments for them.



Pharmaceutical Sciences is a department within AstraZeneca Biopharmaceutical R&D. The Pharmaceutical Sciences' mission is to transform molecules into investigational medicines, meeting the unmet needs of future patients. Advanced Drug Delivery is a department in Pharmaceutical Sciences. Our portfolio of projects spans traditional small molecules, peptides oligonucleotides to RNA based therapeutics across AstraZeneca's therapy areas and our mission is to transform diverse modalities into investigational medicines.

We are now looking for a skilled and experienced Formulation Scientist to join us as Senior Scientist, in the New Modality Clinical Formulation team. The role sits within the ADD group at our vibrant R&D site in Gothenburg, Sweden. With more than 2 800 employees from over 70 different countries, our vibrant Gothenburg site is a truly inspiring place to work.



What You'll do

This is an exciting role where you will act as a key member of various project teams and provide your technical and scientific expertise into formulation design and development strategies within the new modality and advanced drug delivery portfolio of peptides, oligonucleotides and RNA based therapeutics, with emphasis on parental formulation development. You will be responsible for defining lead enabling formulations to ensure desired clinical performance from discovery to Phase II, including a strong contribution to CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, Control) aspects and deliveries. In addition, you will lead GxP/non-GxP drug product manufacturing and outsourcing activities and strategies. As such, we are looking for a candidate who has a strong understanding of biopharmaceutics, formulation, and drug delivery across various modalities and dosage forms. The role will be expected to work cross-functionally supporting drug projects from early to late clinical phase and be involved in science & technology initiatives.

We are looking for you, who together with your team will make a difference for patients' lives every day. This through your ability to independently lead and achieve set goals within budget, time and to the right quality.
