The Role
A temporary position has arisen for a highly motivated Senior Research Scientist to join the Mechanistic Biology & Profiling Department within the Discovery Sciences IMED Biotech Unit in Gothenburg, Sweden. Leading from the bench, you will apply proven biochemistry and cell biology expertise in microplate formats and a passion for driving scientific questions, combined with strong team working ethics, to drug discovery projects. You will join one of our teams whose remit is to support IMED projects globally with delivery of SAR profiling and mechanism of action data for project compounds.
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. The role involves delivery of high quality biological profiling to our drug discovery projects, including independent planning and execution of experiments, troubleshooting and timely reporting of data according to agreed timelines.
