Job Description

At Genmab, we are dedicated to building extra[not]ordinary® futures, together, by developing antibody products and groundbreaking, knock-your-socks-off KYSO antibody medicines® that change lives and the future of cancer treatment and serious diseases. We strive to create, champion and maintain a global workplace where individuals’ unique contributions are valued and drive innovative solutions to meet the needs of our patients, care partners, families and employees. Our people are compassionate, candid, and purposeful, and our business is innovative and rooted in science. We believe that being proudly authentic and determined to be our best is essential to fulfilling our purpose. Yes, our work is incredibly serious and impactful, but we have big ambitions, bring a ton of care to pursuing them, and have a lot of fun while doing so. Does this inspire you and feel like a fit? Then we would love to have you join us! Role The Analytical Method Development (AMD) team is part of Analytical Development within CMC Product Development. The team develops biochemical and molecular assays that support manufacturing process development, pilot-scale manufacturing and future quality control activities at designated GMP sites. We are looking for a laboratory professional who is genuinely enthusiastic about hands-on experimental work and is motivated to build their expertise in a predominantly lab-based role. The majority of your time will be spent in the laboratory, performing experiments. The remainder of your time will be dedicated to data analysis, interpretation, documentation and discussing results with colleagues. Working alongside scientists and fellow research associates, you will coordinate laboratory activities for multiple projects simultaneously. You will be joining a group of down-to-earth colleagues who value openness, collaboration and a good sense of humour. We work closely together and enjoy supporting one another, while embracing the fact that priorities in drug development can change quickly and no two weeks are exactly the same.
