About the consulting assignment
The arena:
Sample Management scientists are responsible for the storage and timely supply of chemical compounds as well as human biological samples (HBS) to AZ iMed projects. Compound samples are supplied to projects both in solid and liquid format but the focus is on the supply of small volumes of liquid samples using highly automated systems. HBS are received from eg clinical studies, stored in the local biobank and distributed to projects. The group primarily supports the Sweden Region but partners with other Sample Management groups globally to provide efficient support across AZ and our partner organisations. The Sample Management group works collaboratively to provide support within agreed service levels with a strong focus on our customers. We strive hard to understand what fits their needs best and to add value through our services. The Sample Management facility and service is leading edge and to maintain this position we actively seek ways to improve our process or exploit new technology
Tasks and responsibilities/The role:
We are currently looking for a Research Scientist in the Sample Management department
within the global Discovery Sciences organization. This position will provide the opportunity
to work in a dynamic and enthusiastic environment whilst supplying a critical service to drug discovery projects. The work is highly collaborative with the team having a collective responsibility for the overall delivery. The role is focused on supporting drug discovery projects within R&D Gothenburg by providing compounds in the requested format (assay ready plates, serially diluted mother plates, formulations and solids) and/or maintaining a high quality handling of HBS and support of projects with requested samples.
As a Sample Management Research Scientist you will be expected to:
o Work as part of the team rotating between the following typical tasks
o Processing of liquid samples on automated systems
o Processing of solid samples
o Manage customer orders using specialized informatics systems as well as databases
o Responding to customer queries via mail or telephone
o Partner with SM groups globally as well as internal and external customers
o Receive and register incoming HBS
o Process requests for HBS to customers
o Act upon day-to-day issues that occur whilst processing samples to ensure continuous improvement
The group has a strong emphasis on continuous improvement which takes the form of
individual and group projects within the team, the department and across Sample Management groups within AZ.
