Interested in a career that matters?
Are you passionate about applying science to create innovative biosolutions that make a real impact? Join Novonesis' Formulation Development organization and help shape the next generation of enzyme and protein products that excite customers around the world.
As part of Formulation Development, you will work in a highly engaged, multicultural, and cross-functional agile team focused on developing enzyme and protein liquid products and their associated production processes. Working closely with colleagues across fermentation, recovery, formulation, production, marketing, application, and R&D, you will contribute to bringing new technologies and products from concept to commercialization while supporting and continuously improving our existing portfolio.
As a Research Scientist, you will play a key role in developing innovative liquid enzyme and protein formulations that deliver value to customers and support Novonesis' growth. This role combines scientific expertise, hands-on laboratory work, innovation, and project leadership, allowing you to contribute across the full development lifecycle from early-stage concept development to commercial scale-up.
You will apply your scientific curiosity to deepen our understanding of enzyme and protein formulations and translate that knowledge into practical solutions. Working closely with colleagues across multiple functions, you will drive projects forward, support production and customers, and help bring new technologies and products to market.
Experience with protein stability studies or formulation development would be an advantage, as would an interest in product scale-up, manufacturing processes, customer support, or digital and data-driven development approaches. These experiences are not required but may help you create value more quickly in the role.
At Novonesis, you will join an ambitious and collaborative team of scientists who share a passion for innovation and product development. We offer the opportunity to work with cutting-edge enzyme and protein technologies while building a broad network across research, development, production, marketing, and application functions.
You will have the freedom to take ownership of your work, contribute to impactful projects, and grow both scientifically and professionally in an environment that values curiosity, teamwork, and continuous learning.
This position is based in Bagsværd, Copenhagen, Denmark. We work in an office-first environment with flexibility to work from home when appropriate. The role also includes occasional collaboration from other Novonesis sites in the Copenhagen area and close interaction with colleagues across functions and geographies.
Location: Bagsværd, Copenhagen, Denmark
Application deadline: 4 October 2026
