hela Sverige Are you an experienced and passionate scientist eager to join a company in the forefront of sample management technologies? Would you like to contribute to the continuous improvement of life changing projects? Are you ready to join a company where absolutely everyone can thrive?
We have an opening for a Senior Scientist to join our collaborative team. Our Sample Management (SM) team is responsible for the storage and timely supply of chemical compounds to AstraZeneca's research projects. Compound samples - ranging from small molecules to larger modalities like proteins - are supplied to projects both in solid and liquid format with focus on using highly automated systems. Our Gothenburg based scientists mainly support the local site, however we also partner with other sites to provide efficient support across AZ and partner organisations.
We work collaboratively to provide support within agreed service levels with a strong focus on our customers. We strive hard to understand what fits their needs and how to add value through our experience and capabilities.
Our facility and service are leading edge, now implementing fully acoustic sample handling workflows as the first company world-wide. To maintain this position, we actively seek ways to improve our process and exploit new technologies.
Main Duties and Responsibilities
In this position, you will get the opportunity to work in a dynamic and enthusiastic environment whilst delivering critical support to drug discovery projects. You are focused on supporting drug discovery projects by providing compounds in the requested format - assay ready plates, serially diluted mother plates, formulations and solids.
Continuous improvement is also a core activity, performed as individual and group projects within the local team and the global department.
As a Sample Management Senior Research Scientist, you will be expected to act upon day-to-day issues that occur whilst processing samples and ensure business continuity. You will run Sample Management development projects to ensure continuous improvement. Furthermore, you will work as part of the team rotating between the following typical tasks:
* Processing of liquid samples on automated platforms
* Processing of solid samples
* Managing customer orders using specialized informatics systems
* Responding to customer queries via mail or telephone
* Interacting with other SM groups and collaborators to process global orders
Minimum requirements
You should ideally have a MSc or PhD in Chemistry or a Bioscience discipline, alternatively a logistics background and previous experience in an instrument-oriented laboratory. As database querying and data analysis is key to our operations, qualifications in computer science or database administration are clear advantages.
Sample Management is a highly collaborative group working to tight delivery schedules so the ability to be comfortable working at a fast, goal-oriented pace, with a team focussed attitude is essential.
* Previous knowledge and experience (>1 year) of sample management in a current setting
* Ability to plan, perform and evaluate experiments to investigate improvement possibilities in a process
* Excellent communication skills with a proactive and service minded approach
* Experience in operating integrated laboratory automation equipment
* Experience from drug discovery process
Desirable Requirements
* Experience with acoustic droplet ejection and low volume liquid handling technologies and their application to drug discovery
* Experience in database querying, data analysis and/or computer programming
