jobbeskrivelse:

We are looking for a dedicated R&D Senior Scientist or Scientist for API Process Research. You will be dealing with development of new synthetic routes and procedures for manufacture of APIs. As our new colleague you are ambitious, highly motivated and have a passion for chemical process development.

About the Department

API Process Research is located at our headquarters in Ballerup, Denmark. We focus on process R&D of novel therapeutic small molecules, and we are responsible for all API related activities, in relation to our R&D portfolio, up to clinical Proof of Concept (PoC). In more details, we work with synthetic route scouting, process optimization, upscale, and smaller scale API manufacture. Larger scale API manufacture and manufacture of clinical API batches are taken care of by our partners. We work extensively together with a range of preferred partners both in Europe and Asia, so management of external activities is a key competence.

To identify the best solution for a given project, we combine a high degree of scientific know-how with a flexible and proactive mindset. Over the last couple of years, we have invested significantly in new lab facilities and new equipment such as advanced reactor systems and in line probes to be able to develop the best possible chemical solutions in a fast, well-documented and efficient manner.

• Identification of synthetic routes to APIs applicable for larger scale API manufacture
• Optimization and scale-up of synthetic processes and process transfer to internal or external partners
• Expert role in the department within a specific technical area

• Manufacture of smaller batches of API for pre-clinical trials
• Practical Chemical Synthesis including supervision of laboratory personnel

You have a strong background within organic chemistry and process R&D. Preferable you have some years of experience from the pharmaceutical industry with hands-on experience within process chemistry. You enjoy working in the laboratory solving practical challenges within organic chemistry and you are capable of coming up with new innovative solutions.

In addition, you possess:

• A MSc/PhD in organic chemistry or equivalent scientific experience
• The flexibility of both being a team player and working on your own
• A proactive, positive and structured personality with a flexible mind-set
