PhD Research Programme
Date available: Dec 2005
Clinical Pharmacology and Discovery Medicine at GlaxoSmithKline
is committed to encourage the inclusion of paediatric considerations in
GSK drug development programmes. On behalf of the coordinator of the GSK
paediatric network I would like to inform you of the following opportunity:
A Fellowship Scheme has been established to foster closer interaction between
clinical researchers and industry. A candidate for this fellowship is being
sought for a collaboration in Pharmacometrics between the University of
Leiden, The Netherlands and GlaxoSmithKline R&D.
New medicinal products with appropriate dosing recommendation should be
made available to the paediatric population. However, developmental and
intrinsic biological differences may or may not yield sub-populations for
which a different dosing regimen is required. This fellowship involves
exploring the utility of PK and PKPD modelling strategies for the evaluation
of treatment effect in children. The extrapolation of data from one population
to another and the analysis of treatment response in sub-populations will
be the focus of this research programme.
The candidate will use a variety of modelling tools during the fellowship
including NONMEM, WinBUGS and mathematical and statistical packages such
as R / SPLUS. The candidate should hold a degree in Medicine, Pharmaceutical
Sciences, Biostatistics, Bioengineering or a related field. Computer programming
skills and some experience in the area of modelling are highly desirable.
The successful candidate will spend time working at both the University
of Leiden and GlaxoSmithKline R&D, UK. Excellent communication, interpersonal,
and organisational skills are essential.
