Role OverviewLead the design, development, and optimization of novel drug delivery systems, including sustained-release and controlled-release dosage forms. Develop targeted and sustained drug delivery formulations using polymeric matrices, implants, microparticles, nanoparticles, hydrogels, and other advanced delivery technologies.
What You Will Do
Design and execute studies to characterize drug release kinetics, formulation stability, material properties, and product performance. Evaluate structure-property relationships that influence drug loading, release behavior, stability, manufacturability, and product quality.
Why It Might Be a Fit
Demonstrated expertise in sustained-release or controlled-release drug delivery technologies. Experience leading formulation and process development from early feasibility through scale-up and technology transfer.
Requirements
- PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Polymer Science, Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related scientific discipline
- 0-4+ years of relevant pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, or combination product development experience
- Demonstrated expertise in sustained-release or controlled-release drug delivery technologies
- Experience leading formulation and process development from early feasibility through scale-up and technology transfer
- Strong working knowledge of polymer science, material characterization, drug-release testing, stability assessment, and pharmaceutical development principles
- Ability to independently design experiments, analyze complex data, draw scientifically sound conclusions, and recommend next steps
