stillingsbetegnelse: Development Scientist for Isotope chemistry team

jobbeskrivelse:

Are you keen to take on a position, where you get a large impact on the quality of the clinical, non-clinical and research studies performed in and for Novo Nordisk? Now is your chance to join the Isotope Chemistry Team, where we are looking for a new Development Scientist.

As part of Novo Nordisk’s R&D family, Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control (CMC) Development makes a real difference for patients with chronic diseases across the world.

We develop, manufacture and distribute drug candidates for non-clinical and clinical trials with the help from approximately 1400 CMC employees. We develop and formulate all new protein processes, coming out of our research unit and through that we ensure best-in-class treatments to the market. CMC Development is organised in six areas of expertise supporting the entire drug development pipeline.

About the department
The Late Stage & Isotope Chemistry & Materials Department is part of Protein & Chemistry Development organised within our CMC Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) Development organisation. In our department, you will find 25 highly skilled and motivated colleagues with a “can-do” attitude divided into three teams.

You will join the Isotope Chemistry team where we provide 3H-, 125I- and 14C-radiolabelled compounds for Novo Nordisk drug candidate research and development studies. We have a crucial responsibility in ensuring the timely and high quality delivery of business critical compounds for several units across Novo Nordisk. The team consists of 7 highly skilled team members, chemists and technicians, who have established a well-functioning and social environment.

This role is currently placed in Måløv and will move to a brand new laboratory in Bagsværd in the course of the next year.

The position
In this position, you get a unique chance to work at the crossroad between research, development and GMP manufacturing. Your main responsibility is to develop and produce isotope labelled drug candidates (API) and other chemical and biological compounds for research and non-clinical studies. You work includes designing and planning experimental work needed to develop tracers for research and non-clinical studies, developing and implementing new isotope labelling techniques and new chemical methods, sourcing key building blocks and isotope labelled compounds and documenting laboratory work to a Good Science Practice (GSP) level. Furthermore, you communicate with end-users of tracer compounds to ensure correct quality and timely delivery and you share your know how with the team and line of business management.

As part of your work, we also expect you to implement and improve work processes and equipment in the laboratory and to have high focus on compliance so you contribute to maintaining our license to operate an isotope laboratory for handling radioactive isotopes.

Qualifications
You hold a PhD or equivalent in Synthetic Organic Chemistry. Preferably you have hands-on laboratory experience within peptide synthesis and/or protein modifications as well as relevant analytical methods such as LC, LC-MS and NMR.

Experience from working in a GMP regulated setting or working with radiolabelling is a clear advantage.

On the personal level you have a positive, innovative mind-set. You focus on opportunities rather than limitations and you are keen to convert theory into practical solutions. You have solid communication skills and you are committed to developing and maintaining strong working relationships with your team and with stakeholders. Lastly, you are a structured person with the ability to ensure careful execution and thorough documentation of experimental work.

We offer you exciting work challenges and the opportunity for professional and personal development in an ambitious functional area within Novo Nordisk’s international R&D organisation.

Working at Novo Nordisk
At Novo Nordisk, we strive for excellence. As a world leader in diabetes care and a major player in haemostasis management, growth hormone therapy and hormone replacement therapy, we offer our employees opportunities for continuous growth.
