We are now recruiting talented and ambitious patent consultants or patent consultant trainees equipped with a good sense for business and commercialization of R&D to our office in Copenhagen.
As a candidate, you have a PhD within organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical science, biochemistry, or related fields. Experience from research in the life science industry is a merit. You are fluent in English, both orally and in writing, and you are able to communicate to an audience with confidence. It is preferred if you can communicate in Danish or Swedish as well.

HØIBERG offers an international and professional workplace, and we are committed to ensuring that our employees thrive and have opportunities to develop their full potential. We actively endorse diversity, equity, and inclusion and offer attractive employment conditions. Being a patent consultant requires a high intellectual capacity and excellent analytical and communication skills, and we are looking for ambitious candidates who are naturally inclined to taking responsibility.
In the absence of prior experience with patents, you will be offered a comprehensive training program during the initial 3-5 years leading up to a European Patent Attorney (EPA) degree. Part of the training is conducted within the framework of your daily work, but you will need to allocate part of your private time to studying during the coming years.
