    You will also be responsible for the tech-transfer of methods to established CRO partners and be called upon to review data to ensure assays are fit for purpose including troubleshooting and data analysis.

    You will also contribute to the bioanalytical strategy for drug development programs by collaborating with the Bioanalytical Strategy Lead (BSL).

    You will be expected to develop strong collaborations both intradepartmentally and interdepartmentally.

    You will be working with a dynamic team in a matrixed environment and will need to manage stakeholder expectations whilst working with experienced and highly skilled bioanalytical scientist colleagues or our partnered labs.

    The iBA group within Clinical Pharmacology and Safety Sciences provides broad discovery, preclinical, and clinical support including life cycle management across all therapeutic areas enabling pipeline delivery, decision making, innovation and advancement to improve the lives of patients through life-changing medicines.

    What you'll do

    Use your experience of assay and experimental design to support delivery of robust bioanalytical data.
    Interpret data and provide scientific insight.
    Enhance the iBA reputation for scientific excellence by presenting at internal and external meetings, and publishing manuscripts.

    Work closely with AstraZeneca laboratory groups within iBA and our vendor partners to ensure appropriate bioanalytical methods are transferred to our partners while fostering an environment of scientific knowledge exchange.

    Interact regularly with stakeholders and cross functional project teams.

    Education & Experience Requirements:

    Education:
    PhD in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or related field

    Experience:
    PhD and 5+ years of relevant industry experience

    Proven expertise includes the development and validation of robust molecular assays for bioanalytical characterisation of DNA, RNA or oligonucleotides in blood, urine, tissues and other matrices for biodistribution or shedding in preclinical and clinical studies.

    Design, execute, and troubleshoot assays to ensure they are fit for purpose, including regulatory submission.
    Contextualize and interpret complex and integrated datasets for use in key project decisions.
    Collaborate effectively to ensure productive interactions with all stakeholder groups.
    Foster advance technical applications to ensure data quality.

    Proven publication and presentation record.
    Exceptional verbal and written communication skills.

    When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines.

    In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and daring world.
    Why AstraZeneca?

    At AstraZeneca when we see an opportunity for change, we seize it and make it happen, because any opportunity no matter how small, can be the start of something big.

    Delivering life-changing medicines is about being entrepreneurial - finding those moments and recognizing their potential.

    This means we're opening new ways to work, pioneering groundbreaking methods and bringing unexpected teams together. Interested? Come and join our journey.
