Position Description: | Postdoctoral Scholar – Dr. Nicole Brogden Laboratory We are seeking two highly motivated and independent postdoctoral scholars, with training and expertise in the field of pharmaceutics and drug formulation/delivery; experience in topical and transdermal drug delivery systems, skin biology, or similar is highly desirable. The positions are available to begin immediately. The initial duration of the two positions will be for one year with a possible renewal dependent upon funding and satisfactory performance.
The research projects provide opportunities to have major, positive impacts on human medicine by improving dermal drug delivery techniques for both acute and chronic conditions in diverse patient populations. Major therapeutic areas of focus in the lab include treatments for substance use disorders, chronic wounds, acute pain conditions, and dermal response to microneedles in individuals with skin of color.
The projects will, in particular, focus on determining significant in vitro and in vivo factors impacting absorption of small molecule drugs through microneedle-treated skin. The postdoctoral scholar will address key questions about how drug properties, formulation, and in vivo skin characteristics impact permeability and flux through microneedle-treated and intact skin. Various projects are available, depending on the specific needs and interests of both the Principal Investigator and the postdoctoral scholar.
This position will offer numerous opportunities for the right candidate to hone their experimental, project management, and scientific writing skills by working closely with the Principal Investigator on projects in the lab and working on grants, manuscripts, and study protocols. The position will also offer the candidate the opportunity to learn how to work with human research subjects in clinical microneedle studies. Last, the postdoctoral scholar's expertise will be strongly enhanced in the general areas of pharmaceutics, dermal drug formulation and delivery, translational and interdisciplinary sciences, skin biology, and mentoring of junior scientists.
