Jobbtitel:
Senior Scientist Molecular Biologist/Transgenic specialist for AstraZeneca

Arbetsbeskrivning:

We are now looking for a Senior Research Scientist focusing on molecular biology and transgenic mouse models for a consultant assignment at AstraZeneca.

You will start in August 2016 and the duration of the assignment is 7 months with possibility for extension.

Arbetsuppgifter

The transgenic capability is a global core team. Within the transgenic capability, there are 4 core scientific disciplines: Transgenic Models, Genome Wide Screening, Precise Genome Editing and Phenotyping and Physiology. The disciplines aim to ensure the capability is at the scientific forefront and performs world leading science and innovation. We are seeking a highly motivated senior scientist to support the Transgenic Models and Precise Genome Editing disciplines for the R&D site in Gothenburg/Mölndal.

You will be working as a scientific and technical specialist in the mouse transgenic field. The main tasks will be the generation and analysis of transgenic animal and cell models using:

- Molecular methods

- Cloning

- TaqMan

- Genotyping

- Generating Transgenic Mice

- Hands-on laboratory work

- Scientific interpretations and Reporting as well as develop collaborations

Utbildning/erfarenhet

You are a Masters or Ph.D. level scientist with proven experience in Molecular biology in the generation and characterization of transgenic mouse models. You will have experience in transgenic models and, from a lab-based perspective, make significant contributions to the practical delivery of project goals. You are experienced in executing strategies for genome modification for animal and cell models, a strong molecular biology background is essential together with an in-depth understanding and experience of cutting edge methodologies employed to modify mammalian genomes. Excellence and hands-on experience in a wide range of cell and molecular biology methods including TaqMan and genotyping, Adeption at analysis of transgenic models, particularly in detection and quantitation of gene expression, Strong in cross-functional working and communication is essential.
