Join a key international site for AstraZeneca. Discover countless opportunities to grow and develop your personal career, experience and skills.

Always advancing our scientific knowledge and helping to shape the future of healthcare for the greatest and swiftest impact on disease.

We are seeking highly motivated, skilled scientists with experience in Cell Biology, Automation and human advanced cell models.

You will perform in vitro investigative studies in advanced human cell models to seek a mechanistic understanding of toxicities from projects developing novel medicines, building new in vitro methods predictive of undesired in vivo effects.

You will have the opportunity to work closely with a team of Scientists to apply ground-breaking Imaging and Omics technologies and push the boundaries of predictive safety science with our vision in mind: to deliver innovative safety science to help restore patient's lives.

We are looking for a highly motivated scientist to work within a vibrant group at the leading edge of their field to support drug safety assessments, a critical component of the drug discovery and development process.

What you will be doing:

You will be a member of the Safety Omics team within the Clinical Pharmacology and Safety Sciences department. Together with other hands-on lab scientists you will apply primary human 2D in vitro and 3D advanced systems to the discovery and development of safe and effective candidate drugs.

Specifically, you will:

• Work in close collaboration with Biologists, Omics experts, Computational and AI scientists and other team members to set and answer critical project safety questions
• Actively contribute to the experimental design, practical delivery and interpretation of data
• Apply your expert knowledge and address capability gaps by contributing to the further development of advanced cell models (kidney, lung)

At AstraZeneca, we're dedicated to being a Great Place to Work. Where you are empowered to push the boundaries of science and unleash your entrepreneurial spirit. There’s no better place to make a difference to medicine, patients and society. An inclusive culture that champions diversity and collaboration.
