AstraZeneca funded Non-clinical PhD Studentship (Fixed Term) in Accelerating Big Data in materials crystallization
Applications are invited for 4-year PhD studentship based in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CEB), University of Cambridge and with a placement at an AstraZeneca UK site. The student will be working on a collaborative project jointly supervised by Prof Laura Torrente Murciano in CEB and Dr Sophie Janbon at AstraZeneca. The project, entitled Accelerating Big Data in material crystallization, will focus on the fundamental understanding of the mechanism and kinetics of co-precipitation and crystallization, underpinning many drug manufacturing processes despite being poorly understood.
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual capable of thinking and working independently. Applicants should have or shortly expect to obtain a first or high second-class degree from a UK university, or an equivalent standard from an overseas university, in all previous degrees and in a relevant subject such as chemical engineering, process engineering or chemistry.
