Clinical Pharmacology Expert in CVRM

Do you have expertise and experience in clinical pharmacology, PK, PKPD, Model Informed Drug Development (MIDD) and its application in drug development? Would you like to apply your expertise in a company that is following the science and turn ideas into life changing medicines? If yes, we have the position for you at AstraZeneca!

We now have an exciting opportunity for an engaged and diligent individual to join our growing Clinical Pharmacology and Quantitative Pharmacology (CPQP) team at AstraZeneca at our vibrant Gothenburg site in Sweden, as a Senior Scientist, Associate Director or Director depending on your background, experience and skills.

This is a global role that will support large- and small molecule projects across all phases of clinical development within the therapy area of Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolism.

We are a global, science-led BioPharmaceutical business and our innovative medicines are used by millions of patients worldwide. Within the Clinical Pharmacology and Safety Sciences (CPSS) function at AstraZeneca, we have a state-of-the-art Clinical Pharmacology and Quantitative Pharmacology (CPQP) organization with a diverse and uniquely skilled team of clinical pharmacometricians, clinical pharmacology scientists and other experts. You will thrive in an energising environment where challenging work goes hand in hand with development. With opportunities, recognition and bright minds, there's no better place to unlock learning and build a long-term career.
