Pharmaceutical Sciences

This fully funded 4-year PhD opportunity at the University of Surrey focuses on developing novel photogrammetry analytical tools for the characterisation of pharmaceutically relevant materials and 3D printed pharmaceuticals. The interdisciplinary project integrates advanced imaging, computational modelling, and pharmaceutical sciences to improve the analysis and quality control of solid dosage forms and next-generation drug products. The research aims to drive innovation in personalised medicine and additive manufacturing by providing low-cost, high-resolution analytical capabilities. The position is a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) studentship, offering valuable teaching experience alongside research, making it ideal for candidates interested in both academia and pharmaceutical science. Applicants should have a strong background in chemistry or pharmaceutical sciences (BSc/MChem/MSc), with industrial experience considered advantageous. The studentship is open to UK and international candidates and provides a UKRI Standard Stipend of £20,780 per year, covering tuition and living expenses. The application deadline is 1 September 2025, with a start date of 1 January 2026. Interested candidates should apply online via the Chemistry PhD programme page, submitting a document with the project title and supervisor's name, along with details of their experience and motivation for applying, particularly regarding the teaching component.
