Göteborg: Research engineer for chemical recycling on Tech company

Do you have an interest in the area of pharmaceutical technology and want to drive drug development projects forward? 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 one 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. At AstraZeneca we're dedicated to being a Great Place to Work. Where you are empowered to push the boundaries of science and unleash your entrepreneurial spirit.

Pharmaceutical Technology and Development (PT&D) apply science and technology that turns concepts into actual medicines which 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 toxicology studies and clinical trials to developing the technology to ensure drugs can be scaled up for commercial manufacture.

We are now looking to hire a Formulation Engineer (Senior Scientist), to strengthen our team in Gothenburg, Sweden. This is an outstanding opportunity for an enthusiastic, innovative and motivated Formulation Scientist who aims to be part of an efficient Oral Product Development (OPD) team.

In OPD, a division of Pharmaceutical Technology & Development , we focus on the design and development of commercial products and processes and contribute to new product introductions and continuous improvement of launched products. Products in scope are, e.g., immediate and controlled release oral solid dosage forms of small molecules for diverse therapeutic areas. To meet the future needs of our portfolio the introduction of new technology and science is an important factor, and the use of modelling and simulation tools is a part of our daily work.


What you'll do

We are looking for a laboratory-based senior scientist that can balance formulation development and process engineering with a passion for application of digital tools. In this role, you will work closely with a team of colleagues in a multi-skilled environment to design, develop and deliver high quality clinical and commercial formulations and processes. You will be part of cross-functional teams delivering drug projects, including contributions to regulatory documentation and submissions. You will also take part in process development and technology transfer of manufacturing methods to other sites and give consultation to internal and external parties. You will be a key player in driving the digital transformation within OPD. You will also be accountable for:



* Work hands-on to generate data as well as work collaboratively with other experimentalists with different backgrounds to identify/use/drive digital applications to strategically direct experimentation.

* Manage your own work to achieve drug development and improvement project targets, in a timely fashion and to agreed quality standards, by applying technical knowledge and expertise as well as interpreting results and adapting investigations as appropriate.
* Participate in scientific and/or technology networks to increase base-line knowledge and create awareness of new developments in relevant areas.
* Contribute to implementation of new technologies for development and manufacturing of oral solid dosage forms.

Essential for the role

* Highly likely to be a PhD or an experienced MSc in chemical engineering, pharmacy or similar discipline.
* A rational approach to problem solving, and an ability to make judgements based on sound reasoning.
* Proven ability to plan, execute and document laboratory work with processing equipment.
* Ability to proactively apply modelling and simulation to deliver value in development and manufacturing.
* Ability to collaborate with experts in complementary areas (e.g., biopharmacutics, analytical and material sciences), in a multicultural environment.
* Operates confidently and collaboratively within a global organisation, with an integrating mind-set.
* Strong communication skills in English and stakeholder management skills

Desirable for the role

* Experience of pharmaceutical products and process equipment and technology, including product design and methods for experimental characterization and a track record of using multi-variate analysis and chemometrics.
* Having a knowledge of operational requirements including GMP, Process Safety, Data integrity and Change Control.
* Experience of continuous processing in a pharmaceutical environment.
* Experience of applying modelling and simulation tools

Are you ready to push the boundaries of science and make a real difference? Apply now to join our team as a Senior Scientist - Formulation Engineer!

We welcome your application by August 25 by the latest.

Are you a researcher recently awarded a doctoral degree, with a wish to continue your research in a field focusing on the applicability of LCA as a decision support in early development of chemicals, materials and products? Do you consider human toxicity and ecotoxicity indicators in LCA an interesting research topic? Then maybe you are our new colleague.

About the role

IVL manages the research programme Mistra SafeChem, where method development for chemical footprints (herein: LCA with strong focus on human toxicity and ecotoxicity) is one of the research tasks in an LCA oriented work package. The aim is to use LCA as a tool to monitor and reduce the exposure from hazardous chemicals. The specific objectives of the work package are:

• To further advance a life cycle based chemicals assessment toolbox developed during 2020-2024, and increase its utility to industry.

• To strengthen the link with the machine learning world to increase chemical space coverage.

• To increase focus on life cycle inventory (LCI) relevant for chemical footprints and by that reduce associated uncertainty.

• Develop prospective LCA methods applicable to a (re)design context with an aim to reduce exposure to hazardous chemicals.

This early career research position is intended as a task lead and main researcher for the programme activities on the further advancement of methods for assessing the toxicological potentials of product systems. This research is integrated in that of the wider work package activities.
Qualifications

To succeed in the role you have:

a recent PhD in life cycle assessment, chemistry, chemical engineering, toxicology, ecotoxicology, or equally relevant fields

documented training and/or experience in LCA and its application

a true interest in working cross disciplines

full proficiency in oral and written English, Swedish is a merit



Who are you?

We are seeking a highly self-motivated person who wants to continue his/her strong publication record in collaboration with new colleagues and with new challenges. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in life cycle based chemicals assessment and a deep understanding of modelling. Extra merits would be machine learning, material science or experience from work with the concept Safe and Sustainable by Design. You are a true team player who likes to challenge and develop your ideas together with colleagues from different disciplines.

We put great emphasis on your personal characteristics.
