PhD Student (f/m/d) - Pharmaceutical Technology, Biopharmaceutics and Molecular Simulations

Temporary, Full-time · Martinsried (BY)

Purpose of your Job
Our Science and Technology team is looking for a PhD Student in Pharmaceutical Technology, Biopharmaceutics and Molecular Simulations to advance biopharmaceutical drug product development through cutting-edge computational approaches. In this role, you will develop molecular simulations techniques to describe and model the physicochemical stability and behavior of protein drugs in their formulation, and you will design and conduct the lab experiments to establish and validate the generated model. by using state-of-the-art analytical methods. The PhD thesis is in tight collaboration between Coriolis Pharma and LMU Munich, Department of Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Technology and Biopharmaceutics, in close proximity, where most of the work will be conducted.

 Are you passionate about science, eager to really understand mechanisms, and are excited about the use of computation as the future methodology in formulation of modern biopharmaceutics?
