Development Scientist for raw materials
- Research & Development
- Denmark - Gentofte
In this position, we offer a unique possibility to create and shape your own job. An emerging field of focus opens a position as development scientist with focus on the use and introduction of new raw materials into our development processes.
About the department
The department is part of CMC API Development, R&D, and is responsible for developing and transferring scalable purification processes for proteins in order to bring the growing pipeline of new therapeutic proteins into clinical trials. An increasingly important part of this task is ensuring that we have the right raw materials from the right manufacturers.
The working climate in the department is informal with emphasis on a scientific approach to our work and a high degree of flexibility. The work is performed in multidisciplinary project groups closely allied with Research, Analytical, Formulation, Production and Quality departments. Thus, a wide interdisciplinary understanding of the development process for biopharmaceuticals is needed to support decision making and progress within this area.
The Job
The major task is to manage the introduction of new raw materials into our biopharm development portfolio. This consists of evaluating the suitability of the materials, including quality, virus safety and manufacturing conditions. You will have the responsibility of ensuring progress in the whole value chain from manufacturers via sourcing and QA to the final use of the materials in our clinical productions. In addition to managing the incoming materials, you will also be involved in defining and implementing new routines and processes of handling raw materials for the whole area.
Your job will also include participation in the general development tasks of the department. This includes development and evaluation of virus removal in downstream processes, writing regulatory documentation for our clinical trials with respect to virus removal, and virus safety of raw materials. Coordinating and managing smaller projects may also be part of your responsibilities.
We offer a position in which you will be able to develop your knowledge of drug development with all its interdependencies and regulatory challenges. You will contribute to interdisciplinary project teams and have the opportunity to develop your scientific, project management or line management skills.
Qualifications
You should hold a scientific academic degree in engineering, biology, chemistry, or another relevant discipline. Preferably, you have experience within the field of protein drug process development, virus safety evaluation or raw materials handling. You are enthusiastic, open-minded and flexible by nature; you thrive on challenges and are able to work both independently and in a team environment.
In Novo Nordisk is your skills, your commitment and your ambitions, which helps us to improve many people's lives. In return we offer you the opportunity to work with exceptionally talented colleagues, and we offer you a wide range of opportunities for professional and personal development.
