Your work will include:

Developing and optimizing purification processes using chromatography and filtration.

Improving protein purity, stability, activity and yield.

Planning and evaluating experiments and analyzing results.

Troubleshooting processes and making them more robust, with future scale-up and GMP manufacturing in mind.

You will work closely with other specialists and contribute your expertise to developing reliable and practical process solutions.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone with:

A relevant university degree in Life Science, preferably a PhD in biotechnology, biochemistry, chemical engineering or a related field.

Several years of experience in downstream process development and protein purification.

Hands-on experience with chromatography and filtration, such as ultrafiltration and diafiltration (UF/DF).

Experience working in a GMP-regulated environment within the development or manufacturing of biological medicines.

Experience working with CMOs/CDMOs in process development or manufacturing.

The ability to drive development work independently, analyze results and solve complex technical problems.

Excellent written and spoken in Swedish and English.

Experience in purifying challenging proteins and enzymes, scaling up processes and process validation is an advantage. Experience with regulatory documentation for biological medicines is also beneficial.

You are analytical, curious and solution-oriented. You enjoy solving technical challenges, take initiative and work well both independently and as part of a team.
