Industrial Postdoctoral Position in Biophysical Characterization

jobbeskrivelse:

Are you interested in providing scientific knowledge and delivering pivotal research in an area, where we are actively working on producing the best product for our patients with diabetes? If so, a postdoctoral researcher position is currently available in the Biophysical Characterisation in Bagsværd, Denmark.

 

About the department

The Department Site Support Improvements is part of Diabetes Finished Products manufacturing Development in PS Novo Nordisk. The department is organised in 6 teams with a total of 70 employees. The department is responsible for supporting production sites around the world.

 

The position

The candidate will be expected to conduct experimental research on protein powder microstructure using techniques such as small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering, light scattering and allied methods of colloid and nanoscience. The research project is in collaboration with the protein production site to investigate the structure physical property relationships and to understand how they are related to the different processing steps. The quality of pharmaceutical formulations relies on the ingredients and various steps in the production, including the production of the API, the active pharmaceutical ingredient. The APIs produced at Novo Nordisk A/S, including insulin, are produced as lyophilized powders. The project will investigate different characteristics of the protein powder and relate to the variation of parameters in the final steps of the manufacture of the API. The goal is to enable direct process control in the API process targeted to ensure ease and robustness of the manufacture of the final pharmaceutical formulation. 

The position is a 2 years postdoctoral employment.

Start date is 1st October 2019 or according to agreement.

 

Qualifications

Successful candidates will have a PhD, or will soon finish their PhD, in Engineering or Science with expertise in protein science and/or scattering methods, as well as be familiar with and interested in protein processing and production. A relevant scientific disciplinary background are Soft M-atter Physics, Biophysics, Physical Chemistry, Colloid or Physical Chemistry and Protein Crystallography or similar. You have established an excellent track record and you have an in- depth knowledge about physical properties of proteins, solid and in solution behavior, stability including chemical and physical characterisation. You are experienced in characterisation methods based on various scattering techniques such as DLS, SLS and SAXS and a fundamental understanding of the underlying physical principles. 

As a person you are curious and dynamic, with a positive attitude to new ideas and people. You are committed to your tasks and reach your goals and have a keen interest in understanding the science behind the drug development process. You collaborate well with people at all levels. You are cheerful and show a positive attitude towards challenges. You take the initiative for driving your projects and are able to stay on top of things in a dynamic working environment. International research experience would be an advantage.
