Responsibilities
- Independently apply advanced knowledge of scientific research in within area of expertise (neuroscience, particularly in neurodegeneration/neuroprotection) and CNS-related fields to manage and coordinate the in vivo activities to support the projects
- Serve as a representative on multi-disciplinary project teams to perform screening and characterization experiments to understand compound pharmacokinetics, potency, and functional activity, interfacing internally with Chemistry, DMPK and Biology
- Participates in proposal preparation in in vivo pharmacology within stand‑alone and/or integrated drug discovery projects, including review of proposals. Make presentations to potential clients.
- Provides therapeutic, scientific and technical expert advice to colleagues
- Ensures close interaction, collaboration, and communication with other In Vivo Pharmacology departments to communicate new research results and development concepts, actively resolves problems and addresses scientific challenges
- Identifies and champions the development and implementation of new or expanded in vivo capabilities that will impact future collaborators and research projects; liaises with other groups/departments to achieve this
- Supports and provides guidance to technical staff - Coordinates, schedules and assigns project-related work to meet completion dates
- Maintains knowledge of scientific and competitive progress within areas of expertise

Required Qualifications
- PhD degree in a Life Science discipline such as pharmacology, biology, neuroscience, with sustained performance and accomplishments, ideally with industrial experience or equivalent (>2 years) in the requested areas
- Strong scientific and technical background in the field of expertise and underlying target biology/disease mechanisms
- Thorough knowledge and hands‑on experience of animal models of neurodegenerative diseases and any other neuroscience‑related areas
- Capability of working with a high degree of autonomy and independence
- High level of initiative and motivation. Excellent interpersonal, technical, and communication skills to be an effective member on cross‑functional teams
- Proficiency in written and spoken English language, German would be a plus
Further Ideal Qualifications
- Intensive experience in handling of laboratory animals and FELASA B certificate (or equivalent)
- Ideally strong experience with CNS‑related techniques in rodents (like tissue/cell engraftment, stereotactic implantation, CNS biological sampling type CSF...)
- Disease expertise in other therapeutic areas like neurodevelopmental and rare diseases and epigenetics would be an advantage
