CMAC is a world-leading medicines manufacturing research centre based in the Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC) at the University of Strathclyde. The Centre works closely with leading pharmaceutical companies including AZ, Chiesi, Lilly, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi, Takeda, and UCB to transform the development and production of medicines.

The Centre supports high-impact programmes such as the EPSRC MediForge Industry 5.0 Manufacturing Hub, EPSRC CDT in Cyber-physical Systems for Medicines Development and Manufacturing (CEDAR), and the Made Smarter Innovation Digital Medicines Manufacturing Research Centre (DM2).

We invite applications for a new Research Fellow (grade 8) to join the DM2: Digital Medicines Manufacturing Accelerator (DM2 Accelerator) team. This role involves enhancing research platform capabilities through the integration of additional IDTs, delivering training materials, and supporting technology translation with SMEs, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and international partners. The programme aims to develop IDT technologies for Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) to improve commercial readiness and facilitate rapid scaling of DM2 technologies.

The post offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the DM2 Accelerator team and lead the delivery of the Centre’s cyber-physical research infrastructure (CPRI), which connects data from advanced digital platforms into a novel medicines manufacturing research knowledge graph.

The Digital Process Development Research Fellow will report to the PI and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team focused on developing and validating crystallisation screening DataFactory and analytical platforms.
