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.
