The arena:
We are looking for a motivated and engaged Senior Scientists to join our Oligo Cell Assay Development team at AstraZeneca in Gothenburg for a 8 months fixed term contract (maternity replacement). As a Senior Scientist in oligo cellular assay development, you will use your knowledge of cells and assay technologies to develop state-of-the-art cell-based assays for screening and profiling of potential therapeutic oligos such as antisense oligonucleotides or siRNA, with the aim to identify lead molecules. You will contribute to the progression of drug projects by bringing novel ideas and scientific strategy. You will work within Discovery Sciences, part of AstraZeneca's BioPharmaceuticals organisation, with a focus on scientific advances in drug discovery across therapeutic areas including, respiratory and inflammation (R&I), cardiovascular, renal and metabolism (CVRM) and rare disease (Alexion).
Tasks and responsibilities/The role:

* Experience with therapeutic oligonucleotides (e.g. ASOs or siRNAs).
* Experienced in working with many and diverse cell models.
* First-rate analysis and decision-making skills, coupled with a tenacity to see decisions through, even in situations of ambiguity.
Desirable in the role:
- Expertise in a range of cell biology techniques, including cloning, transfection methods, and gene expression knock-down (RNAi or other).
* Experience in the design, development and validation of cellular assays for compound screening and /or profiling.
* Cellular imaging and image analysis experience.
* Experience with automation for cell assays.
The final date to apply is October 9th. However, we review applications and conduct interviews on an ongoing basis, and positions may be filled before the deadline. If you're interested, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible!
