Description

Salary Range: €27,160.00 - €50,440.00 Job Description Summary #LI-Hybrid Location: Menges, Slovenia Role Purpose: Our R&D unit in Mengeš is looking for a motivated scientist in field of formulation development to join our unit and help us develop a diverse portfolio of biotherapeutic modalities. As a Senior Scientist you must demonstrate a broad and in-depth knowledge of pre-formulation/formulation and characterization to evaluate the developability of various biologics modalities covered by Novartis Biomedical Research and Development units, ranging from traditional antibodies to advanced biologics formats and mixed modalities. You will help shape the overall formulation strategy for large biomolecules before the project transition from research into early phase development and help funnel out unfavorable candidates with respect to formulation assessment. We offer a stimulating work environment, ample opportunities for growth and development, and the chance to make a significant impact on the future of medicine. If you are a motivated and talented scientist with a passion for biomedical research, we invite you to apply and become a part of our dynamic team at Novartis. Naša R&D enota v Mengšu išče motiviranega raziskovalca s področja razvoja formulacij, ki bi se pridružil naši enoti in nam pomagal razvijati raznolik portfelj bioterapevtikov. Kot Raziskovalec ekspert morate izkazovati široko in poglobljeno znanje s področja predformulacij/formulacij in karakterizacije za ocenjevanje razvojne primernosti različnih bioloških modalitet, ki jih pokrivajo enote Novartis Biomedicinske raziskave in Razvoj, od tradicionalnih protiteles do naprednih bioloških formatov in mešanih modalitet. Pomagali boste oblikovati celovito strategijo formulacije za velike biomolekule pred prehodom projekta iz raziskovalne faze v zgodnjo fazo razvoja ter prispevali k izločanju neugodnih kandidatov glede na oceno formulacije. Nudimo spodbudno delovno okolje, številne priložnosti za rast in razvoj ter možnost pomembnega vpliva na prihodnost medicine. Če ste motiviran in nadarjen raziskovalec s strastjo do biomedicinskih raziskav, vas vabimo, da se prijavite in postanete del naše dinamične ekipe v Novartisu.
