Clinical Pharmacology Scientist in Respiratory & Immunology

Do you have expertise and experience in clinical pharmacology, PK, PKPD, Model Informed Drug Development 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? We have the position for you at AstraZeneca!

This is an opportunity for a hardworking and engaged individual to join our growing Clinical Pharmacology and Quantitative Pharmacology team at AstraZeneca in Gothenburg, Sweden and develop as a Clinical Pharmacology Scientist supporting large and small molecule projects across full development within the therapy area of Respiratory & Immunology.

Within the Clinical Pharmacology and Safety Sciences function, we have a state-of-the-art quantitative clinical pharmacology group with a diverse and uniquely skilled team of clinical pharmacometricians and clinical pharmacology scientists. Gothenburg is a key research and development location for our Respiratory & Immunology area.

There's no better place to make a difference to medicine, patients and society. An inclusive culture that champions diversity and collaboration. Always committed to lifelong learning, growth and development.

What you will do:
You will work closely with clinical pharmacometricians, physicians and other scientists, and apply your expertise and leadership skills to contribute to the strategy of the clinical program and the design and interpretation of clinical studies.
