Downstream Development Coordinator
- Research & Development
- Denmark - Bagsværd
In this job, 366 million people worldwide depend on you to develop the world’s best drugs. If you find challenges like this exciting and inspiring, you may be our new downstream development coordinator within protein purification for new diabetes treatments.
About the department
The job is located in Novo Nordisk Research & Development area in department Diabetes Up-and Downstream Development (Bagsværd). In the Downstream Development team you will have 27 highly skilled and motivated colleagues, who constantly challenge themselves to increase productivity and optimize work processes.
Our main responsibility is to develop the downstream purification processes for manufacturing new active pharmaceutical proteins for future diabetes drugs. We do so in close collaboration with the research unit as well as the pilot facilities manufacturing the proteins used for clinical trials.
The number of projects has increased significantly during the past years and therefore we are ready to expand with a new colleague.
The job
It will be your responsibility to plan and carry out your own laboratory experiments within protein purification (using e.g. chromatography on the Äkta/unicorn platform, precipitations, ultra-/diafiltrations etc.) as well as to evaluate and report the work in electronic laboratory notebooks and finally in clinical trial applications. The progress of the project will be discussed in the projects groups where you are expected to play a leading and coordinating role.
In addition, you will participate in the cross-organisational project matrix of several projects having responsibility for planning and leading the development and manufacture of the active pharmaceutical ingredient used throughout the clinical trials.
Qualifications
You hold a PhD or master degree as chemical engineer, pharmacist, cand. scient. or similar and have at least 3-5 years of practical experience with pharmaceutical development from the industry – preferably from a CMC point of view. Protein purification, using chromatography (e.g. RP, IEC, HIC), precipitation and membrane processes is a key element and profound knowledge of this is therefore a must.
Proven project management skills are also expected.
Furthermore, an innovative mind set being able to convert theory to practical solutions is expected, just as excellent communication skills are prerequisite. On top of that you have a positive attitude and the ability to be both a team player and independently drive complicated development projects forward. As a person you are proactive, ambitious and like to be challenged. You continually strive to raise the bar and aspire to be in a decision making role.
At Novo Nordisk, your skills, dedication and ambition help us change lives for the better. In exchange, we offer you an opportunity to work with extraordinary talent and benefit from a range of possibilities for professional and personal development.
