You are responsible for the safety strategy in multi-disciplinary drug-hunting pre-project/project teams and will lead drug safety teams to influence project decision making with the aim to deliver molecules with the "Right Safety" profile.



We rely on you to contribute to the discovery of innovative treatments for Respiratory and Immunological diseases - and design project-specific in vitro and in vivo strategies to predict, assess and mitigate target- and delivery-related safety risks and execute through internal and external experimental capabilities. You will also engage with world-class experts across our organization to develop, refine and implement experimental strategies to ensure that teams make the right decisions regarding safety risks associated with the project.

* Experience in designing and/or implementing safety strategies in drug discovery projects will be considered beneficial.
* Experience with design and execution of in vitro and/or in vivo experiments to determine the effects of therapeutics (e.g. small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, oligonucleotides, peptides, etc) on biological systems.
* Knowledge/experience in the respiratory and/or immunology field will be considered an advantage.



We also believe that the successful candidate is a motivated and innovative scientist, with a team-oriented approach, who solves problems in a goal-focused way. You should also want to contribute to our open, positive and collaborative working environment.
