Senior Research Scientist - Cell model and Assay development
Imagine a future where a diagnosis of a severe genetic disease is no longer terrifying because effective medicines can cure them. At AstraZeneca, we are turning this vision into reality through pioneering work in genome editing and precision medicine. Join us in this effort!
Our Genome Engineering Team in Gothenburg, Sweden focuses on developing treatment for Rare Diseases. We continually push the boundaries of science to expand the limits of scientific research to better understand rare diseases, discover new life-changing treatments and deliver medicines to patients.
As a Senior Research Scientist, you will be a key member of the Genome Engineering Department. You will join our international team that develops novel genome engineering technologies and applies these breakthroughs to generate innovative gene therapies. We provide a stimulating environment with state-of-the-art facilities where you can transform cutting-edge genome engineering tools into effective and safe medicines.
You are fully competent in own research area within Bioscience discipline. You Initiate, direct and perform research experiments and implementing strategies. You will be able to work without direct supervision and be able to advise/train less experienced scientists. May have supervisory role but not line management
This is a consultant assignment with Randstad Life Sciences. Randstad Life Sciences is specialized in competences within Life Science. As a consultant you get a competitive salary, benefits and collective agreements.
