About this position

Fully funded PhD opportunity at University College London (UCL) in Biochemical Engineering, in collaboration with AstraZeneca, on Beyond Newtonian: Digital Twins and Scaling Rules for Next-Generation Biologics Manufacturing.

The project focuses on concentrated protein drugs that can behave like shear-thinning fluids rather than Newtonian liquids. The successful PhD researcher will develop rheological models for these biologics, integrate them into CFD-based process models, validate the models experimentally, and derive scaling rules to improve biomanufacturing scale-up.

This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates interested in chemical engineering, biochemical engineering, mechanical engineering, fluid mechanics, rheology, CFD, digital twins, and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The post notes that an ideal background is in chemical, biochemical or mechanical engineering, fluid mechanics, or a similar area.

The studentship is fully funded for 4 years and is part of the Next-Gen Biopharma Manufacturing 5.0 Prosperity Partnership jointly supervised by UCL and AstraZeneca. The project code is 2531cc1021.

Deadline: 8 January 2027, 12:00 noon UK time.

How to apply: Visit the linked project page, use project code 2531cc1021, and submit your application before the deadline. For questions, contact the poster, Marco Marques.

Funding details

4 years fully funded.

What's required

Applicants should have a background in chemical, biochemical or mechanical engineering, fluid mechanics or a closely related area, with an interest in rheology and CFD. The project is for a PhD and is jointly supervised by UCL and AstraZeneca.

How to apply
