CMAC is a world-leading medicines manufacturing research centre delivering a rich programme of research, training and translation designed to deliver real impact in our sector. Working in partnership with industry, CMAC’s goal is to transform the development and manufacture of medicines through the development and exploitation of digital design and advanced manufacturing technologies. Our portfolio of activity is focussed on four key pillars to deliver: high quality manufacturing research; the workforce of the future through skills development and training; effective translation of research into industry and, to continue to develop our world leading facilities and Lab of the Future infrastructure. Further details can be found in our 2021-2026 Strategy (www.cmac.ac.uk).

Led by the University of Strathclyde with our partners in the University of Leeds, Imperial College London and University of Sheffield, CMAC has secured a Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) grant funded by UKRI to launch the new CDT in Cyber-physical Systems for Medicine Development and Manufacturing (CEDAR). Developed in collaboration with industry partners, CEDAR will train 90 future leaders with the multidisciplinary skills essential for advancing next-generation, sustainable medicines manufacturing. The CEDAR programme places individual students at its core, providing world-class technical training, impactful research opportunities, and the establishment of a lifelong network of peers, academic faculty and industry experts. Graduates will embark on transformative research projects aligned with the Industry 5.0 paradigm and, develop the way that cyber-physical systems can help make medicines manufacturing more sustainable, resilient and human-centric.

The pharmaceutical industry urgently needs new talent to accelerate the adoption of innovative system-level medicine development frameworks built on new digitally-enabled and human-centric platform technologies, i.e. cyber-physical systems (CPS). This is crucial to achieve the strategic goals of reducing costs, increasing speed, quality, agility and sustainability whilst producing more complex medicines.

This post will work in a team to design, develop and deliver training activities for CDT and MSc students, and industry to address this skills gap. Applications are invited from candidates seeking an exciting teaching role at the interface of academia and industry with a background in pharmaceutical sciences, chemical engineering, chemistry or related disciplines. The role will develop and deliver innovative training in a world-class facility utilising and contributing to the newly established CMAC SkillsFactory – an online training platform. The post will work in a dynamic team to equip the next generation of the medicines manufacturing workforce with the skills they need to thrive in modern project-driven multi-functional teams.

Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Professor Daniel Markl, CDT Training Director (daniel.markl@strath.ac.uk).

Formal interviews for this post will be held in August 2024.
