projects focused on the application of mathematical modeling and simulation to
characterize drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The projects will
involve the use of nonlinear mixed effects and physiologically-based modeling
techniques, and other biostatistical applications in preclinical and clinical
drug development research, to identify optimal dosing and clinical trial
design. The successful candidate will work in the Clinical Pharmacology and
Analytical Chemistry Laboratory of Dr. Angela Kashuba, and will focus on
challenging preclinical and clinical modeling projects in the areas of HIV
treatment, prevention, and cure. This position is integrated into the UNC

excellence in innovative translational research, education, and progressive
pharmacy practice to optimize drug therapy outcomes. The UNC Schools of
Medicine, Public Health, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy comprise one of the
nation's few comprehensive academic health centers located on a world-class
research campus. The Division has vibrant fellowship and graduate programs,
including an NIH-funded T32 postdoctoral training program in Clinical
Pharmacology in collaboration with Duke University and the Hamner Institute for
Drug Safety Sciences.
Education and Experience Requirements: Qualified candidates must have a
doctoral degree in Pharmacometrics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biostatistics,
Biomedical Engineering, Medicine, Pharmacy or a closely related discipline. The
successful candidate must demonstrate expertise in modeling, simulation, and
quantitative systems pharmacology. Extensive software (e.g., NONMEM, ADAPT, R)
and programming proficiency is preferred. Excellent communication skills and
ability to work independently as well as a member of an interdisciplinary team
