hela Sverige Do you bring deep expertise in pre-clinical echocardiography and a passion for translating cardiovascular biology into impactful medicines? Are you energized by leading in vivo imaging science, shaping translational biomarkers, and turning high-quality data into decisions? Join us to accelerate innovative science in Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolism (CVRM).
We are recruiting a Senior Scientist with expertise in pre-clinical echocardiography to Early CVRM, one of AstraZeneca's three main therapeutic areas. In the Bioscience CVRM department, we identify and validate novel targets and deliver robust pre-clinical data across discovery and early development. This is a hands-on, lab-based role where you will drive in vivo pharmacology and work with advanced echocardiography across rodent models to generate high-quality functional data.
As a Senior Scientist, you will be a core contributor to our cardiovascular portfolio, driving cutting-edge rodent echocardiography, aligning methods with clinical measures, and communicating insights that influence pipeline strategy and progress. You will operate at the interface of discovery biology, in vivo pharmacology, and translational science, actively conducting experiments, troubleshooting instrumentation and protocols, and ensuring data integrity through rigorous lab practice. You will continue to demonstrate scientific credibility through presentations and publications.
The role is based at AstraZeneca's dynamic R&D site in Gothenburg, Sweden, where you will join an international, collaborative, and innovative environment focused on scientific excellence and patient impact.
