3 Postdoctoral positions in pharmacometrics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences has 150 employees and a number of visiting researchers and fellow students. The department has twelve research groups with a common administration and we are doing research and teaching in pharmaceutical cell biology / biochemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutical and drug addiction, pharmacotherapy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacometry, clinical pharmacy, bioinformatics, imaging mass spectrometry, molecular neuropharmacology, immunology, biological drugs / biotechnology as well as toxicology and drug safety. More information about the department and its activities can be found at www.farmbio.uu.se

Duties/Project description: All three projects involve development and usage of pharmacometric models based on longitudinal clinical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics data. Also methodological developments are part of the expected tasks. All three projects are done in collaboration with academic groups and/or pharmaceutical industry. One project includes development of models and methods for simultaneous analysis of individual-level and study-level data, and utilisation of such models in decision making. One project aims to characterise the time-course of alterations in platelet, red blood cell and haemoglobin during and after drug treatment and use clinical trial simulation techniques to find the optimal dosing schedule to minimise the degree of thrombocytopenia and anaemia. In the third project clinical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data from adult and paediatric patients with tuberculosis will be used to develop pharmacometric models. Based on these model and clinical trial simulations, dosing strategies will be proposed.

Requirements: To qualify for an employment as a postdoc you must have a PhD degree or a foreign degree equivalent to a PhD degree in a pharmaceutical or adjacent area. PhD degree must have been obtained no more than three years prior to the application deadline. The three year period can be extended due to circumstances such as sick leave, parental leave, duties in labour unions, etc. Good experience of working with the NONMEM and R.

Additional qualifications: Experience of working with relevant (patho) physiological systems.

Salary: Individual salary.

Starting date: 01-09-2020 as otherwise agreed.
