We are now recruiting a Senior Scientist to join the Automation & Assays team in Bioscience technology within
Early Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolism (Early CVRM) in our dynamic R&D site in Gothenburg, Sweden
The Automation & Assay team using advance automation platforms for molecular biology assays to enable delivery
of high-quality data to build a detailed understanding of pharmacological response and mode of action for e.g. small
molecules, oligos, antibodies as therapeutic drugs in our pipeline projects across the Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolism disease areas.

About the position

As a Senior Scientist you will primarily process tissue samples using cell surface protein enrichment techniques for proteomics to provide experimental support to our drug discovery programs, development and characterisation, and
optimisation of new models.
There will be possibility to be part of building automated methods for sample preparation
for proteomics analysis.

Responsibilities

• Tissue samples using cell surface protein enrichment techniques for proteomics
• Potentially take part in the assay and method development using advanced automated platforms
• Independent planning and execution of experiments, troubleshooting and timely reporting/presentation of data
according to agreed timelines.
• Join further model development activities to support drug projects with biomarker and molecular assays for
resolving mechanisms of action, target identification, and candidate drug evaluation.
• Effectively communicate and collaborate across the Early CVRM and with the key stakeholders in other
functions.
