Medical doctor with Neurological Expertise: Do You Want to Evaluate the Medicines of
the Future?

Are you a medical doctor with solid clinical experience in neurology, strong academic
credentials, and have an interest in new medicinal products?
Are you motivated by professional influence, high complexity, and in-depth work?
Would you like to use your clinical judgment and academic insight to decisions that make a
difference for many patients at once?

In close collaboration with our European colleagues, Lægemiddelstyrelsen (Danish
Medicines Agency) helps assess new medicinal products before they are introduced into
clinical practice.
We review data from clinical trials and evaluate whether a new medicine is effective and
safe – before it reaches patients in Denmark and the rest of the EU.
We are now seeking a medical doctor with neurological expertise who would like to help
assess the medicines of the future for the benefit of patients and society.

About Us:
Lægemiddelstyrelsen is Denmark’s national authority for the approval and supervision of
medicinal products, medical devices, and clinical trials.
We are approximately 650 employees located at Islands Brygge in Copenhagen.
We collaborate daily with other national medicines agencies in Europe and the European
Medicines Agency (EMA).
We participate in various professional working groups, and Denmark has members in all
EMA committees.

The position is based in the Section of Human Medicines, where we are approximately 20
medical doctors with backgrounds in various specialties and/or industry.
Your closest colleagues will be medical doctors, pharmacists, and biostatisticians.
We evaluate and approve new medicinal products and indications and follow them
throughout their lifecycle.
Denmark already acts as rapporteur (lead responsible Member State) for many
neurological medicines, and we are seeing significant development with new, innovative
treatments that require solid clinical and scientific expertise to evaluate.

Your Role:
Your primary responsibility will be to evaluate clinical data for neurological medicinal
products.
Does the medicine have a clinically relevant effect in the intended patient population?
Is there a reasonable balance between efficacy and safety?
Are there adverse events requiring special attention, or particular risks in certain patient
populations, such as the elderly or patients with renal or hepatic impairment?
In addition, you will conduct risk assessments in shortage situations; evaluate applications
for Compassionate use permits (Udleveringstilladelser); respond to medicine-related
inquiries from citizens, the press, and policymakers.
There will also be opportunities to engage in collaboration with other national medicines
agencies in Europe and the EMA.

Your Education, Experience, and Personal Qualifications:
You are a neurologist or a medical doctor with solid experience in neurology and/or the
development of neurological medicines.

Research experience is an advantage, preferably a PhD.

Your scientific and professional expertise is essential, and clinical experience is required.

You have a strong interest in assessing clinical research.

You are highly proficient in English, both orally and in writing.
You are motivated to work in a multidisciplinary, international environment where Danish
and English is the daily working language.

You can balance attention to detail with a pragmatic approach.

You have strong collaborative skills and are able to work in a structured and goal-oriented
manner, maintain overview, and meet deadlines.

We Offer:
A medical position of significant societal importance, where you will apply your clinical and
academic knowledge to evaluate new research and help ensure that new treatments are
based on solid scientific documentation.

A role that supports your continued professional development and provides unique insight
into entirely new treatment principles and emerging science.

An internationally oriented workplace with close collaboration partners throughout Europe.
Over time, you may participate in working groups nationally or within EMA.

Your areas of interest will help determine which medicinal products you primarily work with.
The overarching therapeutic areas are within neurology.

You will gain experience in assessing study design and clinical data, as well as in-depth
knowledge of regulatory requirements for the approval of medicinal products.

You will become part of a dynamic professional environment characterized by high
professional integrity and skilled, dedicated colleagues.
Opportunities for continuing professional development within relevant areas are available.

A position in Copenhagen with flexible work arrangements, where you can partly plan your
own workday.
Our working environment is informal and characterized by engagement, humor, and mutual
respect.

Terms of Employment:
You will be employed in accordance with the applicable collective agreement between the
Danish Ministry of Finance and the Association of “Yngre Læger” or another relevant
professional organization.

At the Lægemiddelstyrelsen, we make decisions in regulatory cases, and it is therefore
essential that our objectivity cannot be questioned.
As a condition of employment, you must not own shares or similar financial interests in
pharmaceutical and/or medical device companies.
If you hold such shares, they must be divested prior to employment.
