CNS scientist for 3D imaging, Gubra, Denmark

Gubra is looking for a neuroscientist to join our rapidly growing 3D Imaging department. Using whole organ immunolabelling and light sheet microscopy we are working with biotech and pharma to develop the drugs of the future. Our work is primarily focused on CNS disorders and metabolic diseases, but we are also continuously exploring new indications in other disease areas. If you have a background in neuroscience and imaging as well as a desire to apply this knowledge to drug development, then here is your chance to join a fast-growing international team and work at the forefront of scientific discoveries with cutting-edge technology.

Gubra is an ambitious biotech company striving for excellence at all levels. We focus on doing things efficiently with high quality and in new innovative ways, to reach the results we aim for. Our vision is to become leaders in the fight for a healthier and more sustainable world. We do that by facilitating the discovery of new medicines (serious disease and unmet medical needs) – often in collaboration with the top 20 Pharma and biotech around the world. In addition, Gubra act and inspire others to fight against the ongoing climate and biodiversity crises.

The 3D imaging department is focused on high-throughput light sheet imaging of diverse cleared tissue samples and whole rodent organs. We perform contract research with external customers and support our internal target and drug discovery programs. Continuous scientific development helps us to establish new methods for the characterization of the efficiency and mode of action of pharmaceuticals.

You have recently graduated with a PhD degree in natural or biomedical science, have excellent understanding of brain anatomy, some background in microscopy (i.e. light sheet, confocal, etc.) and experience in working in laboratory. You are detail oriented, have very good scientific communication skills and enjoy teamwork to tackle challenging projects in a fast-paced environment.

Your tasks as 3D Imaging Scientist include:

• Plan and run 3D Imaging studies with particular focus on the brain, but also on other organs and tissue types.
• Prepare study reports and data presentations.
• Contribute to the development of new laboratory protocols and light sheet microscopy methods.
• Advise and guide our CRO customers and internal research projects in imaging study designs.
• Operate light sheet microscopes and laboratory robots.
• Collaborate with scientists and technicians within 3D Imaging and across the organization.
• Contribute to the work in our laboratory with sample preparation for the light sheet microscopes.
• Contribute to scientific publications and conference posters.

Professional and personal qualifications

• Recent PhD in natural sciences such as biology, biomedicine or similar.
• Experience in neuroscience.
• Experience in fluorescence microscopy.
• Good communicator with stakeholder management skills.
• Able to navigate and collaborate in an energetic and rapidly changing organization.
