At AstraZeneca, we transform ideas into life-changing medicine. That difference starts with you. We need people like you who share our passion for science and determination to meet patients' needs around the world. If you're confident to lead, willing to collaborate and curious about what science can do, then you're our kind of person.

We are now looking to hire a Human Tissue Lead to join our Experimental Medicine team in Gothenburg, Sweden. This role can be either at Senior Scientist or Associate Principal Scientist Level, depending on your previous experience.

You will work in a vibrant environment, in the early research organisation, leading our human tissue work within Early RIA Translational Science and Experimental Medicine (TSEM). Our aim is to move treatment of Respiratory disease beyond symptom control to disease modification and cure, combined with the identification of the patient group most likely to benefit. We have many potential assets in the pipeline, and you will enter our company in a very exciting time.

In close collaboration with peers you will provide scientific leadership to experiments, using human tissue and ensure efficient and appropriate use of human tissue. This will include all exploratory work and therapeutic molecule projects in the RIA early development portfolio, bringing to bear the knowledge of colleagues throughout TSEM, Clinical Development and Diagnostic Development.

This is a mission-critical and influential role with high level accountabilities. You will be involved across the entire RIA portfolio, gaining an outstanding experience of leading the translation of basic science to precision medicine.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

Your accountabilities will include ensuring that experiments with human tissue are well designed, reported, recorded and tied to a project decision or an agreed advance in disease knowledge within RIA. Furthermore, you will secure that experiments are closely aligned with the 5R's (right target, right patient, right tissue, right safety and right commercial potential) leading to increased or decreased confidence of projects

* Monitor delivery of experiments utilising human tissue to time and impact of the project at an agreed stage of discovery and development
* Maximise use of human tissue studies through experimental design with application to other projects and scientific questions, working closely with colleagues in our team
* Work with key internal partners to enable cross-project learning and back translation for tissue related preclinical and clinical studies, and development of new tissue generating collaborations as needed
* Design and implement a global strategy for efficient use of HBS across Early RIA sites in collaboration with team members in Gothenburg, Gaithersburg and Cambridge
* Publish and present scientific results and findings
* Act as Early RIA Biobank Operations Manager to ensure compliant use of HBS and serve as focal contact between Early RIA scientists and the Biobank team

Essential Requirements

You have a PhD or MSc in Life Science complemented by several years of work experience in pharmaceutical R&D and a good understanding of the drug development process - from lead identification through clinical trials. Furthermore, we believe that you possess proven leadership capabilities and have a record of being a self-starter.

You also have:

* Proven ability to work efficiently in a matrix team environment.
* Excellent written, oral, presentation and interpersonal skills
* A track record of delivering in discovery as well as development setting
* A clear demonstration of behaviours of:

* Truth seeking rather than success seeking
* Agile responsiveness to scientific data
* Embracing of peer review
