The position is a temporary assignment lasting from beginning of June until end of October.
Main Duties and Responsibilities:
This is a lab-based role, providing in vitro target-based and phenotypic screening to support projects in all phases of the discovery process.

• Deep understanding of data analysis and conversion of screening data to biological parameters. Demonstrated expertise in the coordination and maintenance of dedicated software for small-molecule screening data is a bonus
• Excellent communication skills and an ability to operate effectively in a multi-disciplinary research environment
• Proven ability in providing technical leadership and guidance to others
• Maintain an awareness of relevant scientific and technical advances to help identify opportunities for capability development
• Scientific visibility and leadership through project contributions, internal presentations and external publications
• Excellent problem solving skills, not limited to own area of expertise
• First rate decision making skills, coupled with tenacity to see decisions through, even in situations of ambiguity
