hela Sverige Are you an enthusiastic scientific leader with experience in the field of synthetic chemistry, looking to develop yourself and a great team of scientists? At AstraZeneca, we turn ideas into life changing medicines. Working here means thinking big and working together to deliver impact from our contributions that make the impossible a reality.
We have an exciting opportunity in our Discovery Sciences (DS) unit for a Director of Synthetic Chemistry. This leadership role, in the Compound Synthesis and Management group, provides synthetic chemistry expertise to the global AstraZeneca portfolio of small molecule drug discovery projects in the UK, Sweden and the USA. The position will be placed at our vibrant AstraZeneca R&D site in Gothenburg, Sweden.
As our new Director of Synthetic Chemistry, you will lead a team of chemists who are passionate about synthesis, purification and analysis in hit to lead optimization - especially in the areas of parallel and automated chemistry with a responsibility to support drug discovery projects with synthetic chemistry libraries.
We value our differences because we recognise that a team is at its most creative when it is made up of people who think differently from one another, in an environment where different views and perspectives are welcomed and valued. This is how we foster continuous innovation, constant learning and growth for us as individuals and for our patients.
What you'll do
Lead and empower a chemistry team synthesizing high quality compounds using parallel methods and automated technologies. Alongside this, your team will collaborate with other Therapeutic Area chemistry groups to establish priorities for project synthetic chemistry, provide expert insight to project chemistry, manage expectations and communicate progress. Other accountabilities:
*
Collaborate with Discovery Sciences disciplines and engage with the AstraZeneca chemistry community to establish and lead science, technology and strategy developments
*
Develop yourself and your colleagues to maximise individual and team contributions
*
Enhance the external science and technology reputation of AstraZeneca chemistry through peer-reviewed publication, external presentation of innovative results and involvement in external scientific communities
We truly believe that everyone contributes with a unique set of competence. Your curiosity and passion for personal development combined with support from colleagues and other leaders, will ensure you maximise your skills, abilities and contribution.
Essential in this role
*
Engaging leadership with clarity of purpose, excellent communication skills and a passion for science, project delivery and personal and team development
*
Expertise in synthetic chemistry with an understanding of drug discovery and the external chemistry environment
*
Collaborative leader with the skills and behaviors to develop trusted, interdisciplinary partnerships that ensure alignment of priorities and inspire the delivery of ambitious capability developments
*
Ph.D. in synthetic organic chemistry, or a B.Sc./M.Sc. Degree (or equivalent) in organic chemistry with a minimum of 4 years of experience in a drug discovery unit or pharmaceutical company
Experience of advanced and emerging automated chemistry technologies, and an active network of external contacts is a great plus.
Why AstraZeneca?
Here, you'll be encouraged to grow and progress in your own way, building connections with the people around you and sharing in our sense of belonging. Your life at AstraZeneca is defined by you and guided by us. Ultimately, it's more than a job. We know that our work impacts people with serious conditions, many of whom have no other alternatives. That's what drives us - the potential to impact over one billion patients worldwide.
So, what's next?
If you're passionate about the possibilities of science to make a difference, welcome to join us!
We look forward to get to know you and invite you to submit your application as soon as possible, but no later than the 15th August, 2021.
