We are looking for a Senior Scientist to join the In vivo Bioscience team within Research and Early Development, Respiratory & Immunology (R&I) in Gothenburg, Sweden.
This is a great opportunity to be part of a highly dynamic team that works closely with other departments, focusing on Translational Science, Bioscience In vitro, Cell Therapy, and Drug Metabolism/Pharmacokinetics, to support drug discovery projects and drive new exciting research.
Respiratory & Immunology is one of AstraZeneca's main therapy areas. From a research perspective, we work to understand, treat, modify and ultimately cure respiratory and autoimmune diseases. In this role, you will mainly focus on mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

You will actively take part in scientific discussions, represent the department in project meetings and gain input from other functions to incorporate in vitro, pharmacokinetic and translational data into the experimental design.
This is a partially lab-based role where you will design, plan, execute and analyze pre-clinical in vivo studies with a specific focus on IBD models. You will independently assess and report data from in vivo studies with a clear understanding of its reliability, interpret findings and plan next steps. In this role you are an immunology expert, able to give advice and influence critical decisions to move projects forward. To strengthen team capabilities, you will lead internal and external collaborations (academic partners and CROs).
