PhD positions in pharmaceutical science, AI, and regulatory science for dermal therapies at guideSkin Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen in Germany

guideSkin is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Industrial Doctoral Network focused on dermal drug development, pharmaceutical science, artificial intelligence, and regulatory science. The network is advertising 15 PhD positions across its European consortium, with vacancies to be published gradually on EURAXESS and the project website.

The doctoral projects are organised around three main research areas: formulation quality and equivalence, skin penetration and predictive modelling, and innovative dermal therapies. These topics cover the full pathway from formulation design and analytical characterisation to computational prediction and regulatory evaluation of dermal medicines.

The programme is designed for candidates who want interdisciplinary training at the interface of pharmaceutical technology, skin science, AI/data analysis, and regulatory innovation. Candidates will work within a European network of universities and industry partners, and each doctoral candidate will develop an individual research project while benefiting from structured training and long-term secondments in industry.

Funding: the positions are described as fully funded doctoral positions. The post does not list a deadline yet; the application process is expected to open soon, and interested applicants are advised to check EURAXESS and the guideSkin website regularly for updates.

Institutional context: the post is shared by Professor Dominique Lunter of Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen. The announcement is relevant for prospective PhD applicants in pharmaceutical science, chemistry, biology, biomedical engineering, computer science, and materials-related research.
