PhD position in Pharmaceutical Technology within the EU ITN project PIPPI (ESR10)

jobbeskrivelse:
A 3-year PhD scholarship in pharmaceutical technology is available at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Muenchen, Germany. The position will be available from 1st of June 2016 or as soon as possible thereafter. The PhD student will be part of the EU-funded project “Protein-excipient Interactions and Protein-Protein Interactions in formulations” (PIPPI). Apart from the research work itself, the students’ participation in the project will involve tight collaboration with project partners and frequent visits to the involved labs, active participation at the bi-annual network events, as well as training in complementary skills such as project management. About PIPPI PIPPI is an Innovative Training Network (ITN) concerning the challenges in formulation of protein-based drugs. PIPPI will combine systematic investigations of the physicochemical behavior of a number of proteins with an in-depth understanding of the molecular interactions behind the macroscopic behavior. The overall objective is to develop methodologies, tools and databases to guide the formulation of robust biopharmaceuticals in the future. The Technical University of Denmark (DK) coordinates this exciting collaborative project. The academic partners include University of Manchester (UK), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet, Muenchen (DE), Lund University (SE), University of Copenhagen (DK), MAXIV Laboratory (SE). The industry partners involved in the project include: Novozymes A/S (DK), MedImmune Ltd. (UK), Wyatt Technology Europe GmbH (DE), NanoTemper Technologies GmbH (DE). Each of the project partners contributes world-class competence in particular areas. The core research of the chair of Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceutics at LMU is on the development of stable formulations for modern protein drugs, establishing new formulation related protein analytics, fundamental of understanding of protein molecules in the formulation and protein delivery. Secondment The successful candidate will visit both academic and industrial partners during the project. This will ensure the buildup of a portfolio of interdisciplinary techniques relevant for the applicant’s project and PIPPI objectives. Qualifications Applicants should hold a Master of Science degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Science, Chemical Engineering or an equivalent background that provides a strong set of analytical skills. The applicant should have a strong interest in working in a cross-disciplinary environment and should have very good collaboration skills. Strong communication skills and a strong academic record is an advantage. Fluent communication skills in written and spoken English are essential. The applicant should strive towards scientific excellence, be ambitious and hard working. Only applicants with great talent, which seek to be among the brightest in their field, will be considered. Approval and Enrolment The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in the PhD programme of the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Muenchen (LMU). For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the PhD regulations of the faculty at http://www.cup.lmu.de/promotion/index.php Assessment The assessment will be made by Prof. Wolfgang Frieß and Prof. Gerhard Winter, both LMU, Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceutics, as well as Dr. Dierk Roessner, Wyatt Technology Europe GmbH and the supervisory board of the consortium. We offer We offer a highly interesting and challenging PhD degree program at one of Europe's premier academic and research institutions. From distinguished research grant winners to undergraduate students, all members of the LMU Munich community are engaged in generating new knowledge for the benefit of society at large.
