The position 

As Pilot Scientist you are responsible for driving production campaigns in the facility.

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.
