Job description
Do you have knowledge in the area of solid-state development for drug products, characterization techniques and an understanding of solid-state properties? Would you like to apply your expertise to make an impact in a company that follows the science and turns ideas into life changing medicines? Then AstraZeneca might be the place for you!
AstraZeneca is a global, innovation-driven biopharmaceutical business that focuses on the discovery, development and commercialisation of prescription medicines for some of the world's most serious disease. But we're more than one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies. We are currently looking for a solid-state scientist to join our team in Global Product Development (GPD) in Gothenburg, Sweden, a sub-division of Pharmaceutical Technology and Development (PT&D). We believe that you have fundamental scientific knowledge and hands-on experience in the solid-state characterization techniques, e.g. X-ray diffraction techniques, thermal analysis, moisture sorption analysis, etc. Basic understanding of pharmaceutical development is an additional advantage.
In PT&D, we are the bridge between brilliant science and innovative medicines that help millions of people. We work across the entire value chain, designing and delivering active ingredients, formulations and devices required to support new medicines - from supplies for use in early toxicology studies and clinical trials to developing the technology to ensure drugs can be scaled up for commercial manufacture.
At GPD we focus on the fields of Oral, Inhaled and Parenteral Drug products. We work on the next generation of medicines and play a key role in the development of new medicinal products.
What you'll do:
The role is laboratory based and you will work in cross-functional, cross-skilled pharmaceutical development project teams and be an integral part of sub-teams to deliver key results to support pharmaceutical project activities relating to the solid state of materials.
Why AstraZeneca?
At AstraZeneca, we follow the science to explore and innovate. We are unlocking the power of what science can do, working towards treating, preventing, modifying and even curing some of the world's most complex diseases. If you're driven by curiosity and courage, inspired by the possibility of doing things that have never been done before, this is the place for you.
