Would you like to be a part of a talented and high performing team of clinical research professionals, clinical scientists and physicians who are translating scientific discoveries into early phase clinical development plans and clinical studies across a wide range of diseases?

This role will be located at one of our Global Research and Development strategic sites, in the US, Spain or Sweden.

We are investigating a wide range of different drug modalities – small molecules, biologics, oligonucleotides and cell therapies – across multiple diseases with high unmet medical need.

These activities include the creation of overall clinical development plans and clinical study design as well writing protocols, key study and health authority documentation, medical monitoring and ensuring timely delivery of studies, all in close collaboration with relevant internal and external partners and clinical research organizations.
