• Måløv

Are you an LC-MS scientist with proven laboratory-based experience in bioanalysis, biomarkers and automation? Do you like to passionately make a difference with your expertise in LC-MS? Are you interested in developing your career in a fast-paced environment within one of the world’s largest and most successful biopharmaceutical companies? If so, you now have the opportunity to join the Discovery ADME department in Novo Nordisk in Denmark.

About the department

The Discovery ADME department is part of the Assay, Analysis and Characterisation area within Global Research Technologies, and is responsible for bioanalysis, ADME, and proteomics-based studies in the early discovery phase of our research projects. You will join a department of dedicated scientists and laboratory technicians, who are involved in the discovery and development of proteins and peptides for treatment of diabetes, obesity, haemophilia and other serious chronic diseases. We are located in a state-of-the-art R&D facility in the Greater Copenhagen area.

The position

The primary responsibility of this position is to design, plan and conduct bioanalysis using LC-MS – primarily of biomarkers. Depending on tasks, you are expected to both be able to work independently or closely together with colleagues in the early research phase.

You will be responsible for a significant amount of laboratory-based work tasks, and the successful candidate will assist in the development of novel LC-MS workflows, with particular focus on the employment of automation technologies and efficient data handling methodologies. The qualified candidate is also expected to critically analyse and interpret experimental data, and to prepare clear and well-documented findings for distribution to multi-functional project teams.

In your daily work, you will collaborate closely with project teams, department scientists and laboratory technicians. The working environment in Global Research Technologies is dynamic and innovative and involves interactions with colleagues from research sites in the US and China, with an excellent opportunity to establish a strong scientific network.

The position is for a duration of 2-years.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate holds a Master of Science in pharmaceutical sciences, biochemistry, analytical chemistry or related disciplines with practical experience from an industry or academic setting working with LC-MS bioanalysis. Experience with biomarkers and automation technologies would be an advantage.

You have the ability to perform tasks independently with a strong commitment to high quality analysis, data handling, documentation and reporting. Since all work takes place in multidisciplinary project groups, you are a success-oriented team player, and find it easy to build relationships between team and project members and gain recognition amongst stakeholders with your enthusiasm, proactiveness, integrity, and communication skills.

Finally, the ideal candidate proactively identifies and resolves experimental issues, takes interest in identification and progress of novel technologies, and performs instrument maintenance and troubleshooting as required.
