J&J Innovative Medicine is recruiting for Associate Scientist, located in Leiden.

Job Description Associate Scientist

The Research & Development group of J&J Innovative Medicine discovers and develops innovative medical solutions to address important unmet medical needs in oncology, immunology, neuroscience, infectious diseases, and vaccines, cardiovascular and metabolism, and pulmonary hypertension.

The Drug Substance Development (DSD) department in Leiden focuses on advanced therapies, a novel class of medical products that uses cell and gene therapies to treat diseases which have the potential to cure diseases when no treatment is available. It's a very exciting field, as no established manufacturing platforms exists for these products, which means that new processes need to be developed to ensure high-quality and efficient production of GMP material.

The DSD process development and GMP manufacturing teams work as one team to enable fast delivery of the products for clinical trials, by together developing the process, tech transferring it to the GMP pilot plant and then producing the clinical trial material.

We are recruiting an associate scientist to join our GMP manufacturing teams. We are seeking a highly motivated and independent associate scientist who will be highly involved in process development activities, tech transfer activities, and the manufacturing of the GMP material. Our associate scientists typically work on one product type for 6 - 18 months and see the product through from development to GMP production.
