Postdoctoral Research Fellow (m/f/d)
We are an interdisciplinary, international, research-oriented group applying high scientific standards and innovative methodologies with the ultimate aim to foster the rational use of medicines while empowering young scientists to perform clinically relevant research (http://www.clinical-pharmacy.eu/).
Our group is grounded on two research pillars: (1) Bioanalysis, microdialysis, cell culture, and (2) Pharmacometric (data) analysis. As key feature, the two pillars are bridged, as our pharmacometric projects are based on in vivo or in vitro data obtained by the experimental research pillar, while innovative dynamic in vitro systems utilise modelling and simulation approaches. In addition, many of our projects are realised as parts of clinical studies. Typically, our research is embedded in consortia at a national and international level (EU, global).
We are looking for a full-time postdoctoral fellow in the field of optimising drug therapy and drug development by applying innovative translational modelling and simulation techniques to join our research group for a period of at least 2 years; extension to 5 years is possible. To be eligible for the positions, a PhD and a strong record in the pharmacometric research area is needed. Additionally, experience in either or (i) evaluating pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic or systems pharmacology data and pharmacometric analysis with NONMEM, R or similar pharmacometric software, (ii) Bayesian analysis using STAN or similar platforms, or (iii) one of our experimental platforms (LC/MS-MS, microdialysis, bacterial infection models, in vitro metabolism) is required. The positions also offer supervision of PhD and Master/Diploma students.
Applications in English should include a letter of motivation along with a description of research interests and relevant qualifications for the position. In addition, a curriculum vitae including a list of publications and names/email addresses of 2-3 referees should be provided. Please submit your application to: charlotte.kloft@fu-berlin.de and robin.michelet@fu-berlin.de
Project summary
Currently, respiratory tract infections represent the third leading cause of death worldwide (about 3 million deaths per year). Bacterial pneumonia (either community-or hospital-acquired) is a leading cause of morbidity, quality-adjusted life year loss, and mortality in children, adults, and the elderly. In Europe, pneumonia costs €10 billion each year. Although antibiotics have transformed the management and treatment of bacterial pneumonia, their effectiveness is declining -because of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that bacterial infections due to AMR will outcompete any cause of death by 2050, meaning that it is crucial to develop new strategies to improve antibacterial treatment. In 2017, the WHO defined a priority list of bacteria for which new antibacterial therapies are urgently needed; it includes the major pneumonia-causing pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pneumonia.
The FAIR project (European grant H2020 -call SC1-BHC-14-2019) proposes a unique approach: aerosol delivery of an immunomodulatory protein (by nebulization), achieving direct release into the airways, prompting innate immunity activation in the lungs and preventing systemic immune activation.

Post-doctoral position in PBPK modeling: Basel, Switzerland
A fully funded postdoctoral position (100%) is available in the Division of Infectious Diseases & Hospital Epidemiology at the University Hospital of Basel. The research project aims to develop physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models to simulate dosing requirements of long-acting intramuscular antiretroviral drugs in special populations and to manage drug-drug interactions with concurrent medications. The PBPK approach uses in vitro drug data and a mathematical description of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) to predict the pharmacokinetics in a virtual population. This research project is of particular clinical importance, as it will provide guidance on dosing requirements in special populations, which were not evaluated comprehensively during drug development but which may also benefit from this novel treatment paradigm aiming to improve the chances of life-long maintenance of HIV suppression. In addition, this project will provide a comprehensive knowledge of factors influencing intramuscular drug disposition and improve the knowledge on drug-drug interactions with this route of administration.
The candidate must have a PhD degree and experience in PBPK modeling using the simulation softwares Matlab, R. Knowledge about principles in pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism is desired. This position is also open to candidates from the European Union and North America. The working language is English. German skills, although helpful, are not essential. Basel is a highly attractive city with a multinational population.
