hela Sverige MODIS Life Science is looking for a Senior Research Scientist Biochemical Assay Development to Astra Zeneca, Gothenburg. You must have MS experience as well as screening, assay development, discovery and pharma industry experience. You will be developing biochemical assays for compound screening and mechanism-of-action studies in support of drug discovery projects.
The consultant assignment will start 2018-09-01 and proceed for 2 years.
Welcome with your application no later than May 3rd.
At AstraZeneca, we turn ideas into life changing medicines. We win through science, it 's at the heart of our every success.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated Senior Research Scientist to join the Biochemical Assay team in the Discovery Biology department within Discovery Sciences in Innovative Medicine and Early Development Biotech Unit (IMED) in Gothenburg, Sweden. The Biochemical Assay team is responsible for the generation of novel biochemical assays to support projects in the early phases of the drug discovery pipeline. There is an exciting opportunity for you to join the group as a lab-based scientist and be a key member of the team, developing biochemical assays for compound screening and mechanism-of-action studies in support of drug discovery projects.
The role:
We are looking for a candidate with experience around development of assays for screening and with the application of mass spectrometry in biological sciences. Leading from the bench, you will apply your expertise and a passion for driving scientific questions, combined with strong team working ethics, to drug discovery projects.
Main Duties and Responsibilities:
* To be a lab-based scientist, delivering expertise in the area of biochemical assay development; independently designing, developing and validating biochemical assays for implementation in drug discovery projects, while incorporating the views of others.
* To develop our internal mass spectrometry capability with implementation on existing and development of novel applications for screening and mechanism of action profiling.
* To implement work-plans over agreed timelines such that the objectives of the project are met, including delivery of more than one agreed area of work in parallel where appropriate.
