Job Description:

At Johnson & Johnson, we believe health is everything. Our strength in healthcare innovation empowers us to build a world where complex diseases are prevented, treated, and cured, where treatments are smarter and less invasive, and solutions are personal. Through our expertise in Innovative Medicine and MedTech, we are uniquely positioned to innovate across the full spectrum of healthcare solutions today to deliver the breakthroughs of tomorrow, and profoundly impact health for humanity.

As guided by Our Credo, Johnson & Johnson is responsible to our employees who work with us throughout the world. We provide an inclusive work environment where each person is considered as an individual. At Johnson & Johnson, we respect the diversity and dignity of our employees and recognize their merit.

Key responsibilities

• Build and explore an advanced in vitro characterization toolbox e.g. coupling dissolution, lipolysis, precipitation/crystallization, mucus penetration, and permeation readouts for lipid-based formulations.
• Explore downscaling/high-throughput feasibility e.g. lipolysis and dissolution-permeation workflows to enable efficient screening and optimization.
• Design and optimize next-level lipid formulation strategies for the oral delivery of bRo5 molecules
• Support in vivo translation e.g. contributing to rat PK/lymphatic transport studies and mechanistic experiments
• Communicate scientific outcomes through internal presentations and scientific forums and contribute to manuscript preparation and publication strategy consistent with IP guidance.

Required qualifications

• PhD (or near completion) in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Bioengineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Demonstrated ability to design and execute experimental research with scientific independence (literature review, planning, lab execution, data analysis, reporting).
• Experience relevant to the project focus: lipid-based formulations and/or biopharmaceutics tools that link formulation behavior (dispersion/dissolution/digestion/precipitation) to delivery potential (permeation).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English and a track record of scientific output (publications/presentations and/or patents).
• Willingness to work on-site in Beerse, Belgium with hands-on lab activities.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with one or more of: lipolysis/digestion models, dissolution-permeation methods, membrane permeability models (e.g., PAMPA variants), mucus assays, precipitation/crystallization analytics, or phase characterization during digestion/dissolution.
• Familiarity with lipid-based formulation optimization strategies and/or exploration of in-silico tools to guide formulation design (e.g., COSMO).
• Exposure to translational modeling and/or in vivo study support (PBPK/PK; oral absorption/lymphatic transport).

The anticipated base pay range for this position is:

€60,000.00 - €96,255.00

Benefits:

• In addition to base pay, we offer the following benefits*: an annual bonus with set target (% of pay) depending on pay grade / location, where the actual amount is based on the employees' and companies' performance of the previous calendar year, or sales commissions. Moreover, we offer vacation days, parental leave for a minimum of 12 weeks, bereavement leave, caregiver leave, volunteer leave, well-being reimbursement, programs for financial, physical and mental health. We also offer service anniversary and recognition awards, and subject to the terms of their respective plans, employees - and in some location's eligible dependents - can participate in several insurance plans.
