jobbeskrivelse:
- Research Scientist - Denmark - Måløv A position as Research Scientist in our Histology & Imaging department is available immediately. In this job you will join a high performance team, working to expand our understanding of metabolic diseases and progressing new treatment options. The Global Research Unit specialises in the discovery of biopharmaceuticals for the treatment of type 1 and 2 diabetes. We also discover and develop new innovative biopharmaceuticals for haemophilia and growth disorders and explore novel treatments for obesity and – longer term – microvascular complications of diabetes. Consisting of approximately 1500 highly qualified scientists, postdocs, and technicians, the Global Research Unit conducts its world-class research from sites based in the Greater Copenhagen area, Beijing, and Seattle. About the department The department of Histology & Imaging is part of Novo Nordisk’s Global Research committed to the development of new pharmaceutical peptides and proteins to improve the quality of life and treatment for people with diabetes. Situated in Måløv, Denmark, the department employs state-of-the-art histology and imaging technologies to support both early and late stage projects with detection and quantitation of drug and drug receptors as well as efficacy and safety markers. In brief we visualize the distribution of peptides and proteins using a wide range of histology and imaging platforms including automated IHC and ISH. For more details of the technologies we use we refer to Pyke et al., 2014. Endocrinol. 155, 1280-90 and J Clin Invest. 124, 4473–88. The job The available position is in the Imaging Team where we use advanced imaging technologies such as light sheet microscopy and optical projection tomography to look at the in vivo distribution of peptides and proteins in whole organs. Validation of imaging data relies on ISH and IHC to look at receptor expression and activation. You will be responsible for bridging our imaging platforms with classical histological technologies. You will work in several different cross-departmental and cross-functional project teams where you will play an important role in expanding our current knowledge of the biology and pharmacology of a wide range of diabetes and obesity drug candidates. Your main internal contacts in your daily work will be scientist colleagues, technicians and project members, as well as managers in Novo Nordisk R&D, mainly within Global Research in Måløv. Developing and maintaining strong networks will be an important part of your work with good opportunities for personal and professional development. Qualifications The person we seek is innovative, has a high focus on quality and is highly motivated to work in a results-oriented drug discovery environment. You must have a PhD in Life Sciences and a strong experimental background within classical histology. Hands-on experience with advanced histological and imaging methods is desired. A strong background in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases is also preferred. You have a proven publication record with histology and image based methods and a good international network, preferably with experience from working cross-culturally or . Furthermore, you have excellent communication skills and the ability to deal with challenges in a direct and open manner. At Novo Nordisk, your skills, dedication and ambition help us change lives for the better. In exchange, we offer you an opportunity to work with extraordinary talent and benefit from a range of possibilities for professional and personal development.
