senior scientist - histology of respiratory diseases.

What you’ll do

As a Senior Scientist you will be a vital member of the department and in various working teams to progress our respiratory and immunological drug discovery projects. You will actively take part in scientific discussions, gain input from others and be involved in multiple project meetings to present and discuss experimental plans and data.

This is a partly lab-based role where you will be actively involved in experimental phase of histological analyses, with responsibility to coordinate, perform and evaluate experiments as well as drive the establishment of new techniques. Characterization and validation of target expression and subsequent evaluation of engagement of the target by drug treatment in both patient and in vivo tissue samples will be key areas of your daily work. You will independently assess and report data with a clear understanding of its reliability, interpretation of findings and draw appropriate conclusions with input from others.

We are looking for a team player with strong background in histology and related image analysis techniques with a specific focus on respiratory diseases, ideally complemented by some experience in pathology and pre-clinical drug discovery processes.

So, what’s next!
