EXCELLENT RESEARCH AND TECHNICAL CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Exceptionally good opportunities exist at various levels, for the right individuals, to join a new well-funded multidisciplinary academic centre. The Centre for Applied Pharmacokinetic Research (CAPKR), which interacts and collaborates strongly with an international consortium of major research led pharmaceutical companies, develops quantitative and prediction generic approaches to drug absorption, distribution and metabolism as an aid to drug discovery, selection and clinical development, as well as provides training in the subject. Research extends from experimental studies (in vitro/in vivo) to mathematical modelling and data analysis. The Centre is sited in the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (a top ranking, grade 5, research school), with an internationally renowned reputation in pharmacokinetics and metabolism research and teaching.
Postdoctoral / Research Fellow in Mathematical Modelling of Pharmacokinetic Data: You will research and develop methodology in modelling and simulation of pharmacokinetic/dynamic systems.
Research Assistant in Statistical Modelling of Pharmacokinetic Data: You will research and develop methodology in regression analysis, experimental design, modelling and simulation of pharmacokinetic/dynamic systems.
The appointments are planned initially for 2 years with a strong potential for further extension. All positions are immediately available.
The formal selection process will begin in July and continue until the positions are filled. Potential candidates are welcome to contact Dr. Ivan Nestorov, Assistant Director, CAPKR on +44 (0) 161 275 6886, fax +44 (0) 161 273 8196, Email: [log in to unmask], about the posts, or visit our Websites: CAPKR at http://www.capkr.man.ac.uk ; School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences on http://www.pharmweb.net/manchester.html.
Formal particulars and application forms are available from the Registrar (Academic Staff Office), the University, Manchester M13 9PL, UK (tel: +44 (0) 161 275 2028).
POSTDOCTORAL OR RESEARCH FELLOW IN MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF PHARMACOKINETIC / DYNAMIC DATA (ref. CAPKR 03/99)
Job Purpose: To conduct research and develop methodology in modelling and simulation of pharmacokinetic/dynamic systems.
Principal responsibilities: To carry out research and develop methodology in modelling and simulation of pharmacokinetic / dynamic systems and apply them to a wide variety of experimental and clinical data across the various stages of drug research and development.

Where appropriate, to supervise, motivate and train visiting scientists and postgraduate research students, ensuring appropriate distribution of work, understanding priorities, and monitoring of progress. To provide clear and timely work, such as contributions to the Centre reports and high quality of publications, and communicate verbally as required with other members of the University and with Centre Partner staff.
The appointment is planned initially for 2 years. Salary in the range £ 15,735 to £ 23,535 depending on qualifications and experience.
Qualifications and experience: The candidate should have a PhD in applied mathematics, system engineering, bioengineering or a related discipline. Working knowledge of the major modelling software packages is desirable. Experience in pharmacokinetic modelling and population PK/PD would be an advantage.
RESEARCH ASSISTANT IN STATISTICAL MODELLING OF PHARMACOKINETIC / DYNAMIC DATA (ref. CAPKR 04/99)
Job Purpose: To conduct research and develop methodology in regression analysis, experimental design, modelling and simulation of pharmacokinetic/dynamic systems.
Principal responsibilities: To carry out research and develop methodology in regression analysis, experimental design, hypotheses testing and other data analysis, modelling and simulation of pharmacokinetic/ dynamic systems and apply them to a wide variety of experimental and clinical data across the various stages of drug research and development. To maintain expertise in scientific developments relevant to the objectives of the Centre. To provide expert advice within the Centre and its Industrial partners.
