Dear all
Novo Nordisk (department of Quantitative Clinical Pharmacology) has an opening
for a 2 year PostDoc in the area of diabetes disease modelling in support of
drug development. The candidate will work in close collaboration with Professor
Mats Karlsson, University of Uppsala, and other scientists from academia and
pharmaceutical companies involved in an EU sponsored project under the
Innovative Medicines Initiative (www.imi.europa.eu). The candidate will be
based in Copenhagen with frequent visits with collaborating institutions.
Challenges
The project (DDMoRe ~ Drug Disease Modelling Resources) is driven by an overall
vision for streamlining and expanding the use of modelling and simulation in
the pharmaceutical industry. The aim is to create a library of disease models
in an efficient modelling environment in order to improve the quality and
productivity of computer modelling and clinical trial simulation in drug
development. 10 universities, 10 pharmaceutical companies, and 4 smaller
companies are involved.
As a PostDoc within the DDMoRe project you will be developing innovative
model-based solutions for analysing and simulating clinical trials within
diabetes. You will collaborate with a PhD student matriculated at University of
Uppsala, with Novo Nordisk scientists and with other DDMoRe partners.
Qualifications
You hold a PhD in a relevant area (Engineering, Statistics, Pharmacy, or
other). You are fluent in English, both orally and written, and have good
communication and presentation skills.
You have experience in applied statistics, including mixed-effects modelling,
as well as pharmacokinetics and/or physiological modelling. Moreover, you have
good knowledge of modelling software such as S-PLUS and NONMEM. You have an
analytical mindset and a strong desire to further develop and apply modelling
and simulation in drug development. In-depth understanding of glucose turnover
and diabetes is an advantage.
You appreciate working in teams of scientists with different backgrounds and
the opportunity of expanding your network at an international level.
We offer an exciting opportunity for developing your professional skills and
for working in a project with many challenges and with support from a range of
highly skilled professionals.
