Safety Scientist, Safety Surveillance

Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of people living with brain disorders? At Lundbeck, we are driven by a clear purpose: to improve brain health. As a Safety Scientist in our Global Medical Safety team, you will play a vital role in safeguarding patients while contributing to the development of innovative treatments.

Join a mid-sized, agile company where your work truly matters - and where no two days are the same. You will collaborate across functions, tackle diverse challenges, and be part of a passionate team committed to advancing science and patient care.

If this sounds like the kind of impact you want to make, we would love to hear from you!

Your new role 

As a Safety Scientist at Lundbeck, you will take the lead in the ongoing safety surveillance of one or more of our development-stage or marketed products, contributing directly to our mission of improving brain health.

This is a dynamic and multifaceted role that spans the entire product lifecycle - from early clinical development to post-launch evidence generation. You will be at the forefront of shaping the safety profile of strategically important assets and helping to inform benefit-risk assessments.

Your responsibilities will include:

1. Providing expert safety input into clinical trial protocols and statistical analysis plans
2. Conducting signal detection, safety monitoring, and medical review of individual case reports
3. Analyzing safety data from multiple sources to validate signals and author safety reports
4. Author aggregate safety and benefit-risk evaluation reports, Risk Management Plans, and responses to health authority and ethics committee inquiries
5. Supporting the implementation of risk minimization measures through key clinical and regulatory documents
6. Supporting the Safety Lead in presentations to internal and external stakeholders
7. Contributing to the evolution of our safety processes, helping to shape best practices within Global Patient Safety.

As a member of cross-functional trial teams and the Safety Committee, you will collaborate closely with colleagues across the organization while also working independently. This is a unique opportunity to grow your expertise, make meaningful contributions, and be part of a passionate team dedicated to transforming the lives of people living with brain disorders.

Your future team

You will be joining Global Medical Safety, a key part of Global Patient Safety, based at Lundbeck’s headquarters in Copenhagen. Our team of around 40 dedicated Safety Leads, Safety Physicians, and Scientists is spread across Denmark, the U.S., and Singapore. We take great pride in our shared mission to ensure patient safety and in the strong sense of collaboration that defines our team.

We work in a highly professional, international environment where trust, commitment, and mutual support are at the heart of our culture. You will find a healthy balance between focused individual work and daily interactions in our open office space, along with the flexibility to work from home when needed — all in alignment with your manager and the nature of your assignments.

Our preferred candidates have the following qualifications:

• University degree in life sciences (preferably M.D., alternatively M.Sc. Pharmacy, M.Sc. Human Biology)
• Profound knowledge of pathophysiology, medical concepts and scientific methodology
• Experience with clinical development
• Experience in neuroscience and with biological compounds would be an asset
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and organizational skills

Seniority of the position will be based on your experience and qualifications.
