In Medicines Development research group, we build on understanding of drugs to develop medicines of high safety and efficacy. We invite applicants who can capitalise on existing advanced pharmaceutics research capabilities within King’s College London (KCL) through offering expertise around enabling/disruptive technologies for pharmaceutical design, manufacture, formulation, delivery and regulation.

 

We are seeking a motivated Lecturer to join our Medicines Development research group at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science (IPS). They must be able to contribute to the expanding profile of our world-class, curiosity driven, research at the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

We welcome applications from scientists with backgrounds in biology, cell therapies, extracellular vesicles, drug delivery, pre-clinical or clinical translations, engineering and imaging of advanced therapies. Experience and knowledge in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in pharmaceutical science research and education will be advantages. We welcome imaginative and interdisciplinary applicants who can move our ambitions forward by pursuing new opportunities for laboratory research programmes.

 

The applicant should have a strong, fundable research area that fits with the School of Cancer and Pharmaceutical Sciences and has obvious potential for collaboration with researchers across the School, the Faculty, King’s, the UK and internationally.
