Department of Pharmacy

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (SUND)

University of Copenhagen

We are offering two three-year PhD fellowships in Biointerfaces. The PhD fellowships are financed by the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. The fellowships are available from 1 October 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Project descriptions

The two positions are on different aspects of the interface between particles and the gut.

The first position is focused on the structural attributes of the interface between particles and gastrointestinal fluids, answering questions around how the structure of the underlying particle influences formation of the interface. The project will include training in and utilization of advanced physical characterization techniques with a focus on scattering techniques at major research facilities (synchrotron X-ray and neutron scattering facilities).

The second position is focused on the compositional aspects of the interface - what are the molecular contributors to material at the interface and how this changes with different underlying particle structures and compositions. The candidate will receive training in advanced microscopy and analytical techniques (proteomics and lipidomics).

Our group and research

The Structured Biointerfaces group is a newly formed research group within the Department of Pharmacy led by Professor Ben J. Boyd who recently was awarded a Novo Nordisk Laureate Research Fellowship. The group aims to improve the understanding of the surface of particles in physiological environments for improved performance of formulated products across a range of fields including the pharmaceutical and food industries. We are in an establishment phase and will increase in size to form a team with 4-5 postdoctoral researchers and 4-5 PhD students. Personal and professional development are key ambitions which reinforce our team approach to our science. We value individual input and opinion to help the team to grow.

Our department

The mission of Department of Pharmacy is to advance the pharmaceutical sciences by performing drug-related research and research-based teaching in topics including pharmaceutical technology and formulation, drug delivery, advanced drug analysis, and clinical and social pharmacy.
