hela Sverige Are you a passionate and experienced 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? Welcome to apply for the role as Senior Scientist to join our Sample Management team at AstraZeneca in Gothenburg.
As a Senior Scientist in the Sample Management department, you will be responsible for the storage and timely supply of chemical compounds to AstraZeneca's drug discovery projects. Highly automated systems will be employed to supply small molecules and larger biological modalities to AstraZeneca scientists and partner organisations. You will be a part of the Discovery Sciences organisation, operating within a first-class scientific environment to support drug discovery across each of AstraZeneca's Therapeutic Areas.
We work collaboratively within a Sample Management team, to provide support within agreed service levels with a strong customer focus. 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, 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 Senior Scientist within Sample Management, 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 with the following typical tasks:
* Designing, performing and interpreting experiments independently to investigate process improvements and evaluate new technologies.
* Demonstrating expertise in key innovative aspects of Sample Management, both locally and for representing the dept externally.
* Processing of liquid samples on automated platforms and solid samples.
* Managing customer orders using specialized informatics systems and responding to customer queries via mail or telephone.
* Interacting with other SM groups and collaborators to process global orders.
Minimum requirements
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 focused attitude is essential to be successful in the role. We also believe you have:
* MSc or PhD in a relevant scientific discipline (Chemistry/Biochemistry/Chemical Engineering).
* A proven passion for science, technology and innovation.
* A track record in the performance of a range of practical skills, including non-routine complex tasks, to a high level.
* Excellent communication skills with a proactive and delivery focused approach.
Desirable Requirements
* Expert user status in operating integrated laboratory automation equipment.
* Great skills to lead process improvement and new technology evaluations.
* The ability to design and carry out key experiments, making use of the literature to aid understanding of experimental methods and improve their design.
* A comprehensive understanding of the drug discovery process and the key role of Sample Management.
