Job description

Summary

We are seeking a motivated Radiochemist to join our Radiochemistry & CMC Development team in Oslo. This is a temporary position (contract), with the possibility for extension or transition to a permanent role.

You will support radiochemistry method development, contribute to analytical characterization, and help advance our pipeline of targeted alpha therapies. The role is lab-based and suitable for both junior candidates starting their career and more experienced radiochemists looking to broaden their CMC expertise.

Responsibilities

• Perform radiolabelling of peptides, antibodies, and small molecules with therapeutic and diagnostic radionuclides (e.g., Pb-212, Pb-203, Ga-68) both manually and automated.
• Support analytical method development and QC testing (radio-HPLC, iTLC, gamma spectroscopy, stability studies).
• Contribute to CMC documentation (protocols, batch records, reports, validation activities).
• Assist with process optimization to improve yield, purity, and specific activity.
• Collaborate across functions (Discovery, CMC, TechOps) to support program deliverables.
• Maintain accurate records and adhere to all radiation safety and laboratory procedures.

Qualifications & Education

• PhD, MSc (or BSc with relevant lab experience) in Radiochemistry, Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or related discipline.
• Some hands-on experience with radiochemistry or radiolabelling (academic or industry).
• Experience with automated radiosynthesis is an advantage.
• Hands-on isotopes production and separation is a plus.
• Familiarity with QC/analytical methods (HPLC, iTLC, spectroscopy).
• Knowledge of CMC principles and regulatory requirements is an advantage.
• Practical experience with bioconjugates / chelator chemistry is a plus.
• Strong documentation and organizational skills.

Personal Attributes

• Proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to learn.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced biotech environment.
• Team player who thrives on collaboration and flexibility.
• Commitment to safety and continuous improvement.

What We Offer

• A unique chance to contribute to first-in-class cancer therapies.
• Exposure to both radiochemistry and CMC development in a dynamic biotech setting.
• Hands-on training and professional development opportunities.
• An international, collaborative, and supportive work culture.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• The possibility for continuity beyond the temporary position.
