Postdoc in Novel Drug Solubility Analytics (80-90%)
Flexibility, self-determination, creativity, interdisciplinarity - our mission
Postdoc in Novel Drug Solubility Analytics (80-90%)
School of Life Sciences FHNW, Institute for Pharma Technology
Your tasks
Innovative research happens often at the interface of traditional scientific disciplines. This postdoctoral position is in the framework of a recently granted EU project (https://fass-solubility.eu/) that is about research between laser-based analytics and pharmaceutical applications. Second harmonic light scattering is employed for fast and sustainable solubility measurements and the application research in pharmaceutics is planned to be impactful both from an academic as well as industrial perspective. Key tasks in this postdoctoral position are:
- Method development
- Scouting of novel pharmaceutical applications in solubility testing
- Comparative chemical analysis mostly by HPLC
- Mechanistic investigation of interesting results using different spectroscopic and modelling tools
The contract is limited to 1.5 year with option to extend.
Your profile
A solid background in Physico-Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry or Pharmaceutics is required with a relevant master and PhD degree. Important skills for the present position are:
- Experience in chemical or pharmaceutical analysis
- Experience in studying molecular interactions (e.g., drug-excipient) experimentally or digitally
- Experience working with statistical software (e.g., R- Studio)
- Ability to think in an interdisciplinary way and to work in a cross-functional team
The FHNW School of Life Sciences offers state-of-the-art technical, laboratory and office facilities. Contributing to the school’s highly motivating working environment – which is second to none – are its collaboration with a large number of companies and institutions in Switzerland and abroad, a widely varied programme of scientific events, and daily contact with young students in research and teaching. The FHNW is also committed to equal opportunities and the compatibility of private and professional life.
Will you soon belong to our team? We look forward to your application before October 31.
