Do you want to help advance the health care for people with haemophilia worldwide? At Novo Nordisk Biopharmaceutical Research Unit we count 15 professionals, students and technicians dedicated to develop best-in-class treatments for haemophilia. As Research Scientist you will play an important part in this process. Your location of work will be the Haemophilia Biochemistry department in Måløv, Denmark.
Challenges
You will join a multi-disciplinary protein engineering department spanning technologies of molecular biology over protein chemistry to molecular modelling. We are engaged in a number of biochemistry activities – all aiming to cast light on the structure-function relationships of coagulation proteins and use this knowledge to develop novel treatments for haemophilia.
Your objective is to develop new approaches for the characterisation and understanding of the structure-functional relationships of coagulation factors. You will form part of cross-functional teams and use protein engineering techniques to develop coagulations factors with new properties. The majority of your work will be in cross-organisational projects where you are fixed on meeting the specific design goals as well as ensuring the progress of the project. These projects encompass techniques ranging from computational and applied protein engineering to cell biology and in vivo models.
The position invites you to unfold and develop your personal and professional skills within an innovative R&D environment. In addition, you can look forward to having close interaction with internal stakeholders and external collaborators.
Qualifications
Your background is a PhD within Molecular Biology, Cell Biology or Protein Engineering or a similar relevant subject. You have experience covering modern molecular biology and protein biochemistry techniques. This is preferably combined with experience developing and using assays, enzymatic and SPR-based methods, to study protein function. Understanding of coagulation factors or proteases and their inhibitors will be considered a plus.
To be successful in this position, you will utilize your organised approach and superior problem-solving skills to challenge the understanding of the structure-functional relationship of proteins. You are a self-starter, willing to learn and strongly motivated to find ways and methods that can add new knowledge to the picture. You are a team player who thrives in a working environment characterised by a high level of collaboration in order to achieve results that make a difference.
