Senior Pre-Clinical Scientist within Analytical Chemistry

Senior Pre-Clinical Scientist within Analytical Chemistry

As one of our pre-clinical chemical analysis scientists, you will become one of our experts in analytical chemistry, supporting projects with your chemical competences, developing and optimizing new analytical methods and helping us understand how our products perform. You will work on a diverse range of products within wound-, ostomy- and continence care. Doing so, you will bring your important chemical knowledge to various cross-functional projects, just as you will rethink and help solve unexpected challenges.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to translate clinical needs into robust analytical chemical protocols and contribute to the scientific foundation of our innovation projects. By applying your chemical knowledge, you will help guide product development and ensure that our chemical test strategies are aligned with clinical applications.

Join a cross-functional team with amazing team spirit

In our R&D organization at HQ in Humlebæk, you will be part of the Pre-clinical team covering a broad spectrum of competences from biological, biochemical, polymer, mechanical and the chemical area, around 22 scientist that together are responsible for the knowledge within the biomedical interface, evaluating the performance at the biomedical interface of our current and coming products. The Pre-Clinical department is an integral part of the Test & Characterization organization within R&D, and we work close together with our specialized laboratory technicians, and the rest of the scientists across R&D.

We support product and technology development projects with analytical tests within the chemical and biological field, creates knowledge within our field and works with Ex.vivo organ models to support within wound-, continence-, bowel- and ostomy care products.

Become our analytical chemical experts of clinically relevant extractions

As one of our pre-clinical scientists, you will utilize your analytical chemical expertise to work at the intersection of chemistry and biology. Your focus will be on defining, developing, and optimizing analytical chemical methods, defining clinically relevant extractions for chemical compliance within ISO 10993, ensuring that our products meet the highest standard of safety and efficacy for end-users of our products.

Our well-equipped analytical lab will serve as a broad toolbox for solving diverse and complex challenges together with your colleagues. These tools include HPLCs, GC-MSs, IC-MS, HRAM LC-MS, ICP-OES, IR, Raman, UV-vis, TGA, SEMs and XRF.

You can look forward to spending a great deal of your time in the laboratory together with the technicians, developing new methods and collaborating closely with adhesive-, material- and mechanical specialists, our end-users and of course, your colleagues within the team.

As our becoming Pre-Clinical Scientist within Analytical Chemistry, you will besides be developing and optimizing analytical chemical methods, also be responsible for building clinically relevant extraction into our analytical chemical methods. You will represent Coloplast in working groups giving input to the ISO 10993 standard in close collaboration with our biosafety colleagues.

For you to get the most out of this role, we imagine that you:

• Have a master’s degree or higher with a solid knowledge of organic- and analytical chemistry as well as a broad background in chemistry in general

• Have a broad knowledge and hand-on experience within methods and equipment’s within the analytical chemical field

• Have experience working with screening extractables and leachable within ISO 10993

• Have a good understanding of sample preparation techniques

• Speak and write English fluently

• Have a drive to understand complex chemical problems
