Would you like to be part of our team of professionals, contribute to this groundbreaking development and bring Corona to a halt? 

Janssen Vaccines & Prevention, formerly Crucell, is dedicated to bringing meaningful innovation to global health.

Tasks & responsibilities

As a principal scientist you define the vaccine formulation development strategy based on the market trends, company strategy and competitive environment. You will work in multi-disciplinary project teams on the formulation and primary packaging development of several vaccines, amongst which Corona. You will oversee the studies to evaluate the robustness, stability and compatibility with process and packaging materials and take risk-based decisions.
