    Principal Scientist - Computational Science, Non-Clinical Safety

    The R&D Non-Clinical Safety (NCS) organisation has a focus on the application of cellular and molecular approaches to elucidate mechanisms of toxicity, understanding species differences, and identifying novel translational safety biomarkers to inform on project decisions.

    The NCS organisation requires modelling and data science expertise (i.e., analysis of multi-dimensional data sets including flow cytometry and in vitro cellular imaging studies) to assist with the establishment of leading NCS platforms to evaluate the safety of new medicines.

    We create a place where people can grow, be their best, be safe, and feel welcome, valued and included. We offer a competitive salary, an annual bonus based on company performance, healthcare and wellbeing programmes, pension plan membership, and shares and savings programme.

    We embrace modern work practises; our Performance with Choice programme offers a hybrid working model, empowering you to find the optimal balance between remote and in-office work.
