CAPKR’s high volume of research in quantitative prediction of human drug
metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) has established MPS as a world-leading
centre of excellence in this area. Our goal is to advance translation from in
vitro to in vivo within physiologically-based paradigms and under different
pathological conditions in order to improve safe use of medicines and provide
the right dose to the patients. The physiologically-based pharmacokinetic
(PBPK) models and prediction strategies developed and popularised by our DMPK
group are now an integral part of drug development and drug regulatory
submissions.
The Manchester Pharmacy School is seeking to appoint a motivated, dynamic and
enthusiastic academic with outstanding research skills to develop and deliver
DMPK research, with a specific focus of expertise in biologics. Involvement in
precision medicines would also be encouraged. The post holder is expected to
have an excellent track record of publications and securing research grants.
The candidate will complement existing MPS strengths and expertise in the areas
of drug metabolism and transporters, PBPK modelling and pharmacometrics (for
details see http://sites.pharmacy.manchester.ac.uk/capkr/). Successful
candidate is expected to work closely with colleagues in CAPKR, in addition to
interdisciplinary work with research institutes elsewhere in the University of
Manchester. The candidate is also expected to have a significant teaching
input, develop and contribute to initiatives that aim to enhance the current
MPharm and postgraduate programmes. To provide teaching leadership in the
pharmaceutical sciences that underpins excellence in the practice of pharmacy.
Successful candidate will possess postgraduate degree in a subject relevant to
the role. A record of strong academic, industrial, and/or organizational
leadership and collaboration, as well as evidence of excellent teaching and
communication skills will strengthen the application. A competitive salary is
offered corresponding with the candidate’s experience and skills. The
University of Manchester values a diverse workforce and welcomes applications
from all sections of the community.
