Description:

We are an innovative group at the University of Utah who is developing new drug delivery systems for HIV prevention. We have immediate openings for two postdoctoral fellows in drug delivery. Our research is focused on applying controlled and triggered release principles to the design of microbicidal vaginal drug delivery systems for preventing sexual transmission of HIV. We are working on projects that range from new materials discovery that could lead to new advanced microbicides, the development of new assays to evaluate microbicide products, and sustained delivery system projects some of which are developed enough to begin in pre-clinical trials.

Responsibilities
The candidate will be responsible with:
- development of stable liquid, semi-solid and solid dosage forms
- design, coordination, and efficient execution of preformulation and formulation testing of antiviral compounds
- day to day operation of the project and ability to work independently
- proper documentation of all laboratory work in his/her project and presenting data in regular meetings
- as a member of the group you may be required to mentor undergraduate students

Requirements
PhD degree in bioengineering, pharmaceutical or chemical sciences or related equivalent experience.
Sound knowledge of physical pharmacy principles with hands on experience of analytical techniques e.g. HPLC, UV-vis, DSC and FT-IR spectroscopy. Prior experience in drug formulation and material characterization is preferred. Good communication and organizational skills, as well as a track record of productive scientific work, are essential. Excellent salary and benefits are provided.
