An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated Senior Research Scientist to join the Biochemical Assay Development team in the Discovery Biology department within BioPharmaceuticals R&D, Discovery Sciences in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The Biochemical Assay Development team is responsible for the generation of novel biochemical and cellular assays to support projects in the early phases of the drug discovery pipeline. There is an exciting opportunity for you to join the group as a lab-based scientist and be a key member of the team, developing biochemical assays for compound screening and mechanism-of-action studies in support of small molecule drug discovery projects.
We are looking for a candidate with experience around development of assays with the application of mass spectrometry in particular small molecules and peptides. Leading from the bench, you will apply your expertise and a passion for driving scientific questions, combined with strong team working ethics, to drug discovery projects. This is a temporary position for 6 months with preferable starting date October 1th 2020.
Main Duties and Responsibilities:

• A practical understanding of a wide range of biochemical assay methods and technologies (not limited to mass spectrometry, for example fluorescence and luminescence techniques) as applied to a range of biological targets.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, good scientific judgement and communication skills.
• Excellent team working and networking skills with experience of interacting effectively across interfaces of discipline, culture, and expertise.
Desirable Requirements
• A practical understanding of assay optimisation, including statistical tools such as factorial experimental design, to enable generation of robust, reproducible and sensitive assays.
• Experience of working in external collaborations.
