　　Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), department of Chemical and Life Sciences Engineering has an open postdoctoral position. VCU, in collaboration with MIT has received funding from DARPA to undertake a novel continuous process for the production of the antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin from chemical starting materials through to a formulated oral solid dosage product. This project offers the unique opportunity to participate in a regulatory filing for the first ever continuous process from registered API starting materials to formulated product. The project will utilize the recently publicized Pharmacy on Demand platform developed at MIT to enable the first aNDA filing for such a continuous process.

　　The research project will involve the process chemistry development, reaction engineering, process understanding and experimental protocols required to demonstrate understanding and control of the process. This opportunity offers the post-doctoral scholar a unique training opportunity which will be difficult to obtain elsewhere, namely working across the chemistry, crystallization, physical properties, and formulation technologies space, to develop a control strategy for a continuous process destined for a regulatory filing.

　　The successful applicant will need to be interested with mentoring and supporting graduate and undergraduate students and have the skills to do so, as well as work in collaboration with a larger and more diverse group of scientists working on the project at other sites.

　　Required Qualifications

　　• Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Sciences or related field

　　• Experience with continuous chemistry, and/or crystallization and/or formulation concepts.

　　• Experience in Design of Experiments (DOE) and how the technique is used.

　　• Expertise in modern analytical techniques including NMR, IR, CG. Knowledge of HPLC is particularly important for this position

　　• The desire to be a leader in the laboratory, helping others who are less experienced, and ensuring the highest levels of laboratory safety are ensured.

　　• Excellent communication skills are needed to ensure accuracy of reporting, including the ability to develop and justify original research proposals, compose manuscripts for publication, and verbally describe research efforts.

　　• Demonstrated ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams, displaying excellent interpersonal skills, as well as the ability to develop research plans for multiple individuals

　　• An Entrepreneurial mindset

　　• Generate conclusion reports, present data in team meetings & participate in writing of abstracts & publications

　　• Conduct scientific work programs and make contributions both independently or as a member of a team with other R&D staff

　　• Work through problems logically and apply innovative solutions

　　• Maintain customer focus, motivate self, and demonstrate a high degree of urgency

　　• Use scientific literature and database resources in the execution of project related work

　　Preferred Qualifications

　　• Using kinetic understanding, predict the ability of a reaction to be carried out in flow

　　• Use the principals of green chemistry to drive the improvement of processes and use metrics to measure the impact.

　　• Expertise in Physical Pharmacy concepts

　　• Expertise in the areas of crystallization, isolation, drying, and how physical properties of solids affect performance.

　　• Practical experience with continuous chemistry, and/or crystallization and/or formulation.

　　• Experience with physical properties measurements such as DSC, TGA, XRPD etc
