The Department of Pharmacy at Uppsala University has an interdisciplinary environment at the center of the pharmaceutical arena. With frontline research, first-rate education and extensive collaborations we constitute an important driving force in the development of our academic field. IFF has approximately 150 employees and a revenue of nearly 160 million SEK. In this inspiring environment our rich diversity of research groups, several of international prominence, develop and conduct work of great scientific importance. Among our core competences are computational modelling and simulations, PKPD, in vitro ADME models, advanced in vivo methods, development of biological medicines, as well as patient and societal aspects, from optimizing the use of drugs in individuals to societal pharmaceutical policies. Together, we form a unique cluster of academic competences within pharmaceutical science, playing a key role in shaping the future of pharmacy in both Sweden and globally.
Our scientific focus areas in selection: Biologics, Pharmacometrics • Pharmacodynamics • Pharmacokinetics • Biologics • Clinical Pharmacy • Drug Delivery • Molecular Pharmaceutics • Pharmaceutics and Nanotechnology • Pharmacoeconomics • Pharmacoepidemiology • Pharmacotherapy • Social Pharmacy

Duties: The project will involve the development of pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) models for antibiotics. The developed models will aim to characterize dose-exposure-response relationships and will be based on both experimental preclinical studies and clinical data, and be of value for translation from preclinical to clinical phases. We expect that the project will lead to new advances in predictive and quantitative models to facilitate drug development of antibiotics.
Qualifications: Eligible to be employed as a researcher is a person who has completed a PhD in pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics/pharmacometrics or a related field or has a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctorate in the specified fields.
We place great emphasis on personal suitability and motivation to improve model-based methods for the development of therapies against bacterial infections. The applicant must be able to express him/herself well, both orally and in writing, in English.
Merits: Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling and simulation of drug therapies. Experience of modeling in software such as NONMEM and R. Interest in, and skill in, scientific writing is highly desirable, as is experience in international collaborative networks.
