Now you have the chance to Join the dynamic Therapeutic Editing team as a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Genome Engineering at AstraZeneca in Gothenburg. You will join an international team that develops novel genome engineering technologies and applies these technologies for generation of therapeutic agents. We provide a stimulating environment for innovation and translational application of genome engineering tools, to turn them into effective and safe medicines.
Purpose, Offer and Benefits
This is a 1-year consulting assignment starting in November. You will be employed by TNG during the assignment period.
At AstraZeneca we continually push the boundaries of science to deliver medicines that treat diseases across our main therapy areas. We expand the limits of scientific research to better understand diseases and to discover new life-changing treatments for them.
We are working towards turning novel state-of-art technologies into effective and safe medicines for severe genetic disease. Do you want to be part of this effort? Welcome to join our exciting journey!
Your Responsibilities
You will bring your expertise in molecular biology or screening sciences to develop novel genome editing approaches that can potentially lead to therapies. You will be a key member in cross-functional therapeutic editing project teams with various backgrounds and expertise, where you will be responsible from establishing screening capabilities and running the screens for therapeutic editing projects.
Accountabilities will include screening and optimization of genome engineering technologies to facilitate effective gene editing in target cell & tissue types, analyzing gene editing outcomes, documenting, interpreting, and communicating results to appropriate partners. You will collaborate with other functions to develop and test novel CRISPR delivery strategies - and to develop high throughput next generation sequencing approaches to analyze gene editing outcomes.
The Bigger Picture

Desirable for the role:
* Experience with cell-based high throughput screening methodologies
* Experience in advanced cellular models such as iPS cells and differentiation
* Solid understanding of genome engineering
* Experience in flow cytometry/FACS
We believe that our new colleague is a person who thinks outside the box and find innovative approaches to scientific problems. You hold enthusiasm and curiosity towards scientific questions and learning new skills. You can work in an independent and goal-oriented way, but you also enjoy team work and have the ability to communicate - collaborate in a global setting with cross-functional groups
