Join a place built on innovation and creativity. Where different views and perspectives are welcomed and valued. An environment that champions inclusion, and teams that reflect the diversity of the communities that we serve.

**Who we are**:
A high performing team, we are united and motivated by our shared purpose - to deliver life-changing medicines. We come to work each day to make a difference - to patients, society and our company.

**What we do**:
We are a global, science-led BioPharmaceutical business and our innovative medicines are used by millions of patients worldwide.

**Why we love it**:
With our ground-breaking pipeline comes a bright future - a secure job, exciting opportunities and varied work. We’re on an exciting journey to pioneer the future of healthcare.

**Main Duties and Responsibilities**:
The Early Respiratory and Immunology Translational Science and Experimental Medicine department is a fast-paced environment, with a culture that is both science-based and patient-focused. Our mission is to understand disease mechanisms at the molecular level, identify the most effective target and the right patient population, and to close the gap between bench science and bedside clinical practice.

A key role of Precision Medicine Discovery and Development is to lead the development of precision medicine in immunological and respiratory diseases, driving patient stratification and delivering translational clinical validation, underpinned by the understanding of disease relevant pathways and drivers.

The Translational Science Lead (TSL) is a key scientific and strategic role, where you will be focusing on:

- Delivering precision medicine strategies to select the patients most likely to benefit from our medicines
- Building the translational clinical validation package for new targets and utilising public and proprietary biobanks, better to understand responding sub populations, biomarkers and the biology of our drug targets
- Identifying and enabling Proof of Mechanism (PoM) biomarkers to demonstrate target engagement at First-Time-In-Man (FITM)

The TSL is accountable as member of a project team for the precision medicine strategy and clinical target validation strategy. Continuously collaborating with functions within and outwith Early Respiratory and Immunology will be essential continuously to strengthen the link between targets and disease phenotypes and endotypes and bring precision medicine propositions to the clinic. The TSL can be both a laboratory and project role, requiring flexibility to ensure all translational aspects of the projects are supported according to timelines.

**Qualifications & Skills**:

- Excellent understanding of the Immunology and/ or Respiratory therapy area and disease biology, including related molecular pathways and mechanisms.
- Experience and knowledge of the biological basis for patient stratification and precision medicine, and also familiar with patient selection biomarker invention and implementation.
- Experience and knowledge of the biological basis for target engagement biomarkers and familiar with PoM biomarker invention and implementation.
- Broad understanding of relevant technologies and methodologies along with excellent scientific laboratory skills and ability to experimentally address key scientific questions.
- Excellent skills in hypothesis forming and testing and able to draw conclusions and suggest next steps based on the experimental data.
- Shown experience and solid understanding of biology, pharmacology, translational medicine and clinical sciences as well as clinical development with pre-eminence in at least one of these areas.
- Great leadership skills, ability to be a self-starter.
- Strong team working skills with a proven track record of working collaboratively to ensure scientific excellence and robust delivery to projects.
- Excellent written, oral, presentation and interpersonal skills

**Education Requirements**:

- PhD or MD equivalent with a strong experimental drive and background in relevant scientific field
- Post-doc experience or otherwise relevant scientific research experience
- Experience in an academic and/or industry setting
- Strong publication record
