We're currently looking for talented scientists to join our innovative academic-style Postdoc. From our centre in Gothenburg, you'll be in a global pharmaceutical environment, contributing to live projects right from the beginning. You'll take part in a comprehensive training programme, including a focus on drug discovery and development, given access to our existing Postdoctoral research, and supported to pursue your own independent research in state of the art laboratories. It's a rapidly growing programme spanning a range of therapeutic areas across a wide range of disciplines
What's more, you'll have the support of a leading academic advisor, who'll provide you with the guidance and knowledge you need to develop your career. This is an exciting area that hasn't been explored to its full potential, making this an opportunity to make a real difference to the future of medical science.
AstraZeneca is a global, innovation-driven biopharmaceutical business that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialisation of prescription medicines for some of the world's most serious diseases. But we're more than one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies. At AstraZeneca, we're proud to have a unique workplace culture that inspires innovation and collaboration. Here, employees are empowered to express diverse perspectives - and are made to feel valued, energised and rewarded for their ideas and creativity.
Our Discovery Sciences team operates from truly state-of-the-art centres spanning the UK, US and Sweden. You'll work with some of the most knowledgeable technology experts in the industry, all collaborating on high-profile drug discovery projects. Cancer is one of the greatest challenges facing medical science today. In collaboration with our Oncology Team, you'll push the boundaries of science every day to overcome that challenge. We've been at the centre of some of the biggest breakthroughs in oncology. In lung cancer, for example, we've brought together complementary expertise to aid discovery and accelerate development in new medicines through a variety of partnerships and initiatives. We're also early adopters of new technologies to support innovation, including CRISPR, genome editing techniques, transcriptomics and a next-generation sequencing platform for companion diagnostics in oncology. But we're not stopping there. With a world-class pipeline and some of the best experts in the industry, we're in a great position to develop even more innovative therapeutic approaches and the opportunities to develop your expertise here are limitless.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work within the field of deep learning technology and to apply own findings to drug design and ultimately improve human health. You'll work in an industry leading group with a very strong publication track record in developing deep learning architectures for drug design and see the predictions made experimentally validated.
