MRI Scientist: Pharma Imaging & Drug Delivery

Actalent; Beerse; Sur place; EUR 70 000 - 90 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Actalent in Beerse, Belgium, seeks an MRI Scientist to develop and validate MRI methods for pharmaceutical materials, formulations and drug-delivery devices. The role involves creating MRI workflows that complement CT analysis and address water ingress, hydration kinetics, coating performance and internal movement within devices.

You will translate imaging data into actionable insights for formulation and process teams, support cross-functional studies, and help build SOPs and data

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in physics, Chemistry or related field; PhD advantageous but not required.
• Hands‑on experience with pre‑clinical MRI instrumentation
• Experience interpreting imaging and spectroscopic data and communicating results to a non‑expert audience.
• Experience with solid state NMR is a plus
• Knowledgeable in organic chemistry is a plus

Responsabilités

• Develop and validate MRI methods for pharmaceutical materials, formulations, and dosage forms.
• Establish MRI workflows complementary to CT scan analysis for typical pharmaceutical applications like water ingress, hydration kinetics, disintegration, swelling, diffusion and dissolution.
• Assess coating integrity, permeability, delayed-release behaviour and capsule disintegration in complex dosage forms.
• Characterize device functionality for drug-delivery systems with MRI visualization of internal movement and fluid distribution.
• Monitor sedimentation and resuspendability of suspensions and depots, and interpret data for project teams.
