NGS Molecular Biologist - Oligonucleotide therapies
Are you an experienced scientist with great expertise in Next Generation Sequencing and Molecular Biology? Do you want to use this expertise to contribute to the discovery of novel oligonucleotide therapies? We have an opening suitable for you!
Right now, we are looking for a passionate and hard-working Molecular Biologist with NGS skills to join our NGS & Transcriptomics function within the Centre of Genomic Research Department at AstraZeneca in Gothenburg, as one of our group members is going on parental leave. You will contribute with your expertise in applying molecular biology and NGS to the discovery of novel oligonucleotide therapies.
AstraZeneca's ambition is to become world-leading in in the field of oligonucleotide therapies. We are achieving this through advances in oligonucleotide science and innovation internally and through the establishment of key collaborations outside AstraZeneca. To this end, we currently have a portfolio of very high-profile projects at different phases of drug discovery within AstraZeneca, and you will directly contribute to their successful progression to oligonucleotide therapies.
What you will do:
This lab-based role is for a Molecular Biologist with significant NGS expertise, which you will apply to the characterisation and profiling of the effects of oligonucleotide treatments in in vitro and in vivo cellular assays and models in support of novel drug discovery projects.
Our team is a collaborative group, and you will engage in the supervision and mentorship of other scientists, ensuring that methods run expertly and accurately, developing and guiding the setup of new techniques. Included in the role is also to nurture strong collaborative relationships with the project investigators, key partners, and data scientists to ensure the smooth running of projects.
Essential for the role:
• Ph.D. degree or MSc with corresponding experience in a relevant scientific discipline.
• Hands-on lab-based experience in utilising advanced molecular biology RNA-sequencing techniques.
• Experience covering all relevant aspects from hypothesis generation, through experimental design and execution, large-scale RNA and DNA extraction, sample and library preparation, sequencing, data handling, post-sequencing QC, and troubleshooting.
• Experience in the detection of nucleic acids in high-throughput assays and approaches.
Desirable for the role:
• Working with laboratory automation / liquid handling systems, method and technology development and optimisation.
• Knowledge of Oligonucleotide therapies (siRNAs and/or ASO)
• Hands-on laboratory experience running NGS platforms (Illumina, Oxford Nanopore etc).
• Sample Tracking by LIMS systems.
You should also have the ability to communicate, interact, and collaborate with your direct team members, as well as across our global AZ functions and fields. Alongside this, our ideal candidate enjoys working in an innovative, proactive, forward-thinking, project-focused and goal-oriented way and shares our excitement about the molecular biology RNA-sequencing techniques.
Why AstraZeneca?
At AstraZeneca, we are driven by our desire to understand and reveal new insights. We are free from fear of failure, free to ask the right questions, make bold decisions, and dig deep into the biology of complex diseases. We are committed to making an impact on patients' lives by improving patient access to healthcare globally. Our values guide everything we do at AstraZeneca. They power our belief in What Science Can Do - a belief in its potential to redefine what's possible.
