Welcome to our great Translational Science and Experimental Medicine (TSEM) department with a fast-paced and collaborative atmosphere - and a culture that is both science-based and patient-focused. This position as Translational Science Lead (TSL) is an opportunity for a motivated and scientifically passionate individual to play an important part within our Early Respiratory and Immunology (R&I) organisation.
The position will be placed at AstraZeneca either in Gothenburg (Sweden), Gaithersburg (US) or Cambridge (UK). You will belong to the Precision Medicine Discovery & Development group and our role is to lead the development of precision medicine in respiratory diseases, driving patient segmentation and delivering translational clinical validation. Underpinned by understanding of disease relevant pathways and drivers.
Thrive in a place where the brightest and most curious minds seamlessly come together in our inclusive environment.

* Building mechanistic understanding of the target and disease through innovative application of experimental methods and technologies.
* Building the translational clinical validation package for respiratory targets to better understand responding populations, biomarkers and the biology of our drug targets.
* Identifying and enabling Proof of Mechanism (PoM) biomarkers to demonstrate target engagement at First-Time-In-Man (FITM).
Essential for the role:
* PhD or equivalent with a strong experimental drive and background in relevant scientific field.
* A minimum of 5 years' experience in an academic and/or industry setting, including clinical trial experience.
* Proven ability to deliver in precision medicine, target engagement and human target validation and their application to drug discovery.
* Shown experience and solid understanding of biology, pharmacology, translational medicine and clinical sciences as well as clinical development with pre-eminence in at least one of these areas.
* Excellent understanding of the respiratory therapy area and disease biology, including related molecular pathways and mechanisms.
* Experience and knowledge of the biological basis for patient segmentation, target engagement and familiar with patient selection and PoM biomarker invention and implementation.
Our team is a highly collaborative group, so the ability to be comfortable working in a goal-oriented way, with a team focused approach is central to be successful in the role. Furthermore, you have great communication and leadership skills and enjoy being a go-to person to ensure scientific excellence and robust delivery to projects.
