    Default job background
    Description
    At AstraZeneca, we turn ideas into life changing medicines. Working here means being entrepreneurial, thinking big and working together to make the impossible a reality. We're passionate about the potential of science to address the unmet needs of patients around the world.

    We commit to those areas where we believe we can really change the course of medicine and bring big new insights to life.


    AstraZeneca's vision in Oncology is to push the boundaries of science to change the practice of medicine, transform the lives of patients living with cancer, and to ultimately eliminate cancer as a cause of death.

    As a Senior Scientist in our group, you will be the tumor biology lead for emerging RC portfolio projects, working both with our internal project teams and with external partners to develop novel targeted alpha therapies.

    As a core project lead, you will use your theoretical and practical expertise to deliver pre-clinical datasets, synthesize cross-functional findings, establish program priorities, and advance the project through all stages of pre-clinical development.

    You will represent the project team in front of governance committees and will present program updates at other internal forums.

    In addition to your individual project leadership responsibilities, you will also provide intellectual contributions and cross-functional support to RC teams across the portfolio.

    Main Duties and Responsibilities

    Essential Requirements


    • PhD Degree with 0-3+ years of experience, Master's Degree with 5+ years of experience, or a Bachelor's Degree with 7+ years and project leadership experience in a relevant field related to tumor and radiation biology.
    • Expertise in targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies, with broad knowledge of the field, is required for consideration of the candidate.
    • Demonstrated ability to lead cross functional project teams.
    • Solid understanding of radiation biology, cell biology, and/or biochemistry in the context of cancer, with a robust desire for continued learning.
    • Experience with routine cell culture, particularly culture of tumor cells
    • Expertise in molecular- and cell-based methodologies, such as cloning/gene editing, cytotoxicity assays, binding and internalization assays, flow cytometry, ELISA, and Western blotting
    • Works independently with minimal supervision to conduct experiments, analyze data, and prepare results for internal and external presentations and regulatory filings
    • Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills evidenced by a history of successful project delivery in team-oriented, collaborative environments.
    • A proven track record of efficiency, as demonstrated by scientific publications in high quality peer-reviewed journals.
    • Ensures own work, and work of peers, is compliant with Good Laboratory Practice, Safety, Health, and Environment standards and all other relevant internal AstraZeneca standards and external regulations.
    Desirable Requirements


    • Prior experience in the biopharmaceutical industry and familiarity managing data delivery through contract research organizations preferable but not required.
    • Demonstrated ability to coordinate project activities and provide scientific mentorship to junior scientists is highly preferred.
    • Direct, hands-on experience in residualization & saturation binding assays, PET-CT imaging, biodistribution studies, non-clinical dosimetry, and other pre-clinical radioimmunoconjugate methods is highly desirable.
    • Experience with targeted alpha emitter therapeutics would be considered favorably.
