Do you want to use your passion for analytical chemistry to help us in developing innovative treatments, to improve the lives of people living with brain diseases?

We are looking for an experienced analytical scientist who will be part of our Analytical Development group and work closely together with skilled colleagues from other scientific disciplines to find unique solutions in our small-molecule development projects.

Joining us, you will be part of an organization which is solely focused on development of new drug candidates for brain diseases, and you will be part of the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research (CPR) area which is responsible for CMC development at Lundbeck.

The department Analytical Development (AD) consists of 24 engaged and competent employees (11 academics, 10 technicians and 3 assistants) working cross-organizationally on our small-molecule development projects from late discovery to product launch.

The department is responsible for physico-chemical characterization, development and validation of new analytical methods, and release and stability analyses for drug substances and drug products for clinical studies. We are working internally with a range of analytical techniques, such as HPLC, GC, LC/MS, Dissolution, KF, XRPD and particle size measurement, and we are working with CMO partners for some of our projects.

Your job and key responsibilities
