The position
As Pilot Scientist you are responsible for driving production campaigns in the facility. That includes planning, dimensioning, and follow up on daily operation during the campaign as well as ensuring completion and final release. We are producing for clinical trials, and therefore GMP and documentation is a large part of our daily life.

The team consists of technicians and scientists and are a very social, positive and including team with can-do attitude and lots of humour.
In you job you will collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders including process development laboratories, support functions, QA and possibly CMO.
You will have great opportunities to be involved in interdisciplinary projects, tasks and problem-solving where you can put your scientific knowledge and process understanding into play.

Qualifications
To be successful in this role, we imagine that you have an engineering degree or a master’s degree within chemistry, pharmacy, or a similar field.

Preferably, you also have experience or knowledge within one or more of the following:

• Protein purification in pilot or production scale

• Separation techniques such as filtration, chromatography, and precipitation

• Organic chemistry and chemical modifications

• Experience from a GMP regulated production is an advantage.

We welcome applications both from senior profiles with strong scientific expertise, and from more junior profiles within the field, who are ambitious about developing in the role.

As a person, you work independently, can handle a complex workday, and enjoy a close and friendly collaboration with your team and department. You are responsible, flexible, and have the courage and drive to engage in new assignments and stick to them until the job is finished. It is important that you are a good communicator, since you are in daily contact with other scientists, technicians, production employees, project managers, analytical laboratories, and others. A positive mindset will suit our working environment where a good laugh is appreciated even when things are getting hectic.
