About the team

Clinical Pharmacology & Safety Sciences (CPSS) is a multi-faceted department which underpins AstraZeneca's Biopharmaceutical and Oncology Portfolio from target selection through to Life-cycle management.


The
Regulatory Toxicology and Safety Pharmacology team sits within CPSS and plays a central role in progressing a rich and diverse pipeline comprising many different modalities across all of our therapeutic areas.

We work collaboratively to deliver safety science from early discovery through clinical development, with emphasis on the science and studies required to enable the clinical development of new medicines.


We are currently looking to recruit a dedicated
in vitro pharmacologist to join the Safety & Mechanistic Pharmacology team, to help deliver our growing portfolio.


The role


Working closely with drug safety specialists and project safety pharmacologists, you'll be key in helping to influence drug design early in drug discovery.

You'll aid the selection of safer molecules and contribute towards the development of mitigation plans for the safety risks identified.


This role is primarily desk-based and would suit a highly motivated, capable scientist who has a desire to join a vibrant group of like-minded experts in their field and to collaborate with global AstraZeneca scientists to support drug safety assessment - a critical component of the drug discovery and development process.


What you'll do

  • Generate in vitro pharmacological profiling data
  • Identifying offtarget risks of concern, interpreting undesirable off target pharmacological interactions and translating in vitro activity at specific targets to preclinical and clinical adverse events to contextualise the potential safety related risks
  • Interpreting in vitro offtarget pharmacological profiling data to influence project decisionmaking and compound selection
  • Designing and implementing bespoke in vitro mechanistic workplans to address project specific drug safety/toxicity questions and increase our understanding of the translation of in vitro to in vivo
  • Maintaining an awareness of current developments in literature and contributing towards the continuous improvement of AstraZeneca's offtarget profiling strategy
  • Presenting scientific data alongside interpreting and relaying this data to project teams, departmental or functional meetings; and externally via poster and oral conference presentations and authorship on peerreviewed publications.

Essential Criteria

  • A PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant scientific specialism with a strong grounding in pharmacology (e.g. pharmacology, biology, biochemistry, toxicology, physiology) with an exceptional trackrecord in driving innovative science, preferably in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry
  • Strong technical experience of in vitro pharmacological or biochemical assay development and screening (e.g. radioligand binding, enzyme activity and functional cellbased systems) as applied to a range of biological target classes
  • Experience of integrative pharmacology/physiology in the drug discovery and development context
  • Excellent problemsolving skills, focus on delivery and outstanding communication skills
  • A true collaborator, you will be teamcentric, you'll demonstrate highly effective networking skills and will be practised in collaborating across interfaces of scientific specialism, culture, and expertise.

Desirable Criteria

  • A practical understanding of broad profiling technologies, such as proteomics would be beneficial

So far as is possible, we are looking at holding initial telephone interviews, week commencing, 20th February 2023 and progress to final panel interviews to be held virtually via MS Teams, from 1st to 3rd March 2023.
