The Faculty of Science, the Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR) is looking to recruit:
2 assistant/associate/full professors in Systems Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics (1.0 fte)
Vacancy number: 23-037
We have two open vacancies for an assistant/associate/full professor to contribute to the research and education activities at the Division of Systems Pharmacology and Pharmacy at the Leiden Academic Center for Drug Research (LACDR). Depending on the level of experience and scientific track record, more junior candidates will be offered an assistant professor position which may either have stronger education responsibilities (50% education/50% research), or a tenure track position with a stronger research focus (25% education/75% research). More established candidates may apply for an associate/full professor position with the expectation to lead an independent research group at our division.
From the research perspective, the Division of Systems Pharmacology and Pharmacy (SPP) aims to develop quantitative precision medicine approaches to characterize and predict variation in treatment response and enhance translational drug development strategies. Across the five current principal investigator-led research groups of our division, the main overarching research themes are focused on (i) application of quantitative modeling/pharmacometrics in clinical pharmacology to develop optimized treatment strategies, and (ii) the development and application of systems approaches to enhance translational drug development strategies.
Our ambition is to impact development of personalized treatment strategies and innovative translational drug development through integration with clinical data, including real-world patient data. We develop new methodological advances at the interface of quantitative systems- and clinical pharmacology/pharmacometrics and other disciplines such as innovative experimental disease models, emerging biomarker technologies, state-of-the art biophysical tools, and advanced statistical/ ML/ AI-approaches.
From the education perspective, our division is involved in the Bachelor/Master program of Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences. In addition, our division is closely involved in the Master program of Pharmacy, which is jointly organized with the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC).
