OPENING #1

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE - Working on the development of novel approaches to form oral solid doses with an emphasis on integrating the API directly into a variety of polymer matrices. The research will span both fundamental research and applied development on a broad range of platforms including – film casting, electro processing, injection molding.  The candidate will have a unique opportunity to work in an academic environment which collaborates closely with Novartis Pharmaceutical with the aim to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.

REQUIREMENTS: a Ph.D. in an interdisciplinary field such as chemical engineering physical chemistry, pharmaceutical science or material/polymer science/engineering is required.  Experience in both modeling and hands on laboratory work would be a distinct advantage. We seek a candidate who is independent, self-motivated, yet able to work as part of a team. The candidate should be able to demonstrate strong interpersonal and communication skill.  

OPENING #2

POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE - Working on the development of crystallization process technologies that are applicable to the continuous manufacturing of particles. The research will span both fundamental, applied research and process development  on a broad range of crystallization issues including – purification via intermediate crystallization, counter current crystallization, heterogeneous nucleation, polymorphic control, crystallizer design, scale up to name but a few.  The candidate will have a unique opportunity to work in an academic environment which collaborates closely with Novartis Pharmaceutical with the aim to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.

REQUIREMENTS: a Ph.D. in an interdisciplinary field such as chemical, physical chemistry, pharmaceutical science or material science is required, as is expertise in crystallization.  Experience with PAT tools and process controls systems/software would be an added benefit. We seek a candidate who is independent, self-motivated, yet able to work as part of a team. The candidate should be able to demonstrate strong interpersonal and communication skill.
