Senior Scientist – In Vitro Cardiovascular Biology

Do you have expertise within in vitro cardiovascular biology and enjoy working in the lab? Would you like to apply your expertise in a global company that is accelerating innovative science and turning ideas into life-changing medicines? Join us to discover future treatments for Cardiovascular, Renal, and Metabolic (CVRM) diseases!

We are recruiting a Senior Scientist with expertise in in-vitro cardiovascular biology to Early CVRM, one of our customer's three main therapeutic areas. In the Bioscience department, we focus on identifying and validating new drug targets and delivering preclinical data to projects across all phases of drug discovery and development.

The role is based at our customer's dynamic R&D site in Gothenburg, Sweden, where you will join an international, collaborative, and innovative environment focused on scientific excellence and patient impact.

Accountability

As a Senior Scientist, you will be a key laboratory-based contributor to our customer's Cardiovascular Bioscience portfolio. This is an in vitro–focused role, where you will play a critical role in building mechanistic understanding of drug targets by generating high‑quality experimental data to support target discovery, target validation, and drug discovery projects within cardiovascular disease.

Responsibilities include:

• Independently design, develop, and execute in vitro experiments and assays.
• Generate high‑quality mechanistic data, including mechanism‑of‑action and proof‑of‑concept evidence for drug candidates.
• Work extensively with human pluripotent stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes and other relevant cell types in both healthy and disease‑relevant settings.
• Apply molecular biology, imaging, and functional assays (e.g., contractility, electrophysiology, metabolism).
• Develop and utilize 2D and 3D cardiac model systems, including multicellular cultures, cardiac organoids, and engineered cardiac tissues.
• Collaborate effectively across Bioscience and with other functions to ensure successful delivery of project milestones.
• Present scientific data and insights at internal project teams and governance forums, as well as external meetings.
• Actively contribute to a collaborative, innovative environment, sharing ideas and continuously improving ways of working.

Essential Skills/Experience

• PhD or Master's degree in Biology, Pharmacology, or a related discipline, with a scientific background in cardiovascular disease
• Strong experience in cell and molecular biology, biochemistry and relevant in vitro/ex vivo assays
• Minimum 2 years' recent hands-on experience in handling and manipulating relevant PSC cells and primary human and animal cardiac cell types, including cardiomyocytes
• Minimum 2 years' recent hands-on experience in in vitro work within the cardiovascular field, involving endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes, and fibroblasts in both healthy and diseased cardiovascular preclinical model systems
• Minimum 2 years' recent hands-on experience in cardiac in vitro models: hands‑on with 2D and 3D systems, including cardiac organoids and engineered cardiac tissues across multiple cell types (e.g., hiPSC‑derived cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle)
• A collaborative, proactive, and flexible mindset, with the ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams
• Excellent scientific communication skills, with strong written and spoken EnglishSenior Scientist – In Vitro Cardiovascular Biology
