The Arena

The Innovative Medicines (iMed) of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases pushes the boundaries of science to deliver life-changing medicines to patients suffering from Heart Failure, Diabetes or Chronic Kidney Disease.

CVMD iMed is agnostic to molecular modality and utilizes small molecules, peptides, macrocycles, oligonucleotides, etc, which provides a unique opportunity to address scientific questions in an innovative way and creates a stimulating environment for you as a Chemist.

We drive our pipeline and the areas of scientific leadership to a large extent in collaborations with the best experts in the world which gives you as a scientist in this environment access to the most recent knowledge and opportunities to stay at the fore front of science.

The Medicinal Chemistry Department within the CVMD iMed is a critical player in identifying novel targets and chemical series primarily around small molecules but is expanding the capabilities in alternative modalities such as peptides and oligonucleotides. The department has the size of 55 employees, incl. 3 at our satellite unit at the Max Planck Institute in Dortmund, and constitutes a highly educated (2/3 PhD?s), experienced, science driven organization. In addition a number of post-docs, PhD?s and students work with us to bring innovation in our key areas. We need you who like to explore new scientific approaches and work in an open and collaborative environment to influence drug design and make the future drugs.

The role

This is a senior scientific lab-based role within the Medicinal Chemistry department. You will be an authority in synthetic chemistry and will develop and lead the science in this field. You will have a profound impact on multiple projects across the CVMD iMed, in all phases from target selection to drug candidate selection. The role holder will also provide discipline-based scientific leadership and represent the department and AstraZeneca at interdisciplinary meetings internally as well as externally.
