Dear NMusers,
The Division of Systems Pharmacology and Pharmacy (SPP) at Leiden University is
looking for a postdoc (deadline: July 31st) with experience in
pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modelling in preclinical-to-clinical
translational pharmacology to work on the recently started PReDiCTR-TB
consortium. PReDiCTR-TB develops the next regimen(s) against tuberculosis, to
further shorten treatment duration and improve efficacy. To that aim, we
develop and apply computational tools to accelerate and prioritize the right
regimens for further (pre)clinical development. In the consortium’s Data
Science and Modeling Group (DSMG), we collaborate with a large number of
experts in preclinical experimental laboratories as well as clinical trialists
and drug developers.
The successful candidate will develop computational models incorporating
pharmacokinetics- pharmacodynamic and/or systems (immuno)pharmacology to
quantify in vitro and in vivo antibiotic drug effects for monotherapy and in
combination regimens, and predict their efficacy in patients. Different
modelling techniques such as population and semi-mechanistic models, logistic
regression and AI/ML, and/or systems (immuno)pharmacology will be employed.
This postdoctoral position is characterized by close collaboration with both
computational and experimental scientists within this international consortium,
within the spirit of Team Science.
We offer a full-time, 1 year term position, with the possibility of renewal
based on performance. You will be appointed in accordance with the Collective
Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The salary ranges from € 3.226 - €
5.090 gross per month, depending on experience (pay scale 10). Leiden
University offers an attractive benefits package with additional holiday (8%)
and end-of-year bonuses (8.3 %), training and career development and sabbatical
leave. Our individual choices model gives you some freedom to assemble your own
set of terms and conditions. Candidates from outside the Netherlands may be
eligible for a substantial tax break.
Enquiries can be made to Dr. Rob van Wijk ([email protected]).
