About this position

North-West University’s Centre of Excellence for Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharmacen), South Africa, is inviting applications for a postdoctoral fellowship focused on Biomedical Sciences, Pharmaceutics, and non-animal methodologies.

The position is aimed at an exceptional, highly driven researcher interested in human-based NAMs for biomedical and pharmaceutical research. The project sits within a leading research programme on next-generation, human-relevant biomedical models, including advanced 3D cell culture systems, organoids, and disease modelling technologies for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

The successful fellow will contribute to innovative and translational research that aims to transform biomedical testing through ethically responsible approaches. Responsibilities include leading and contributing to research projects, developing and implementing advanced in vitro models, publishing in high-impact peer-reviewed journals, contributing to proposal development, co-supervising postgraduate students, and helping build research capacity.

Eligibility highlights include a PhD obtained within the last 5 years in Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Physiology, or a related discipline. Applicants should have hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture, including iPSCs, organoids, biomedical applications of cultured cells, and molecular biology techniques/bioassays. Experience or interest in primary human cell systems, computational or alternative non-animal models, and advanced 3D culture systems is strongly relevant.

The fellowship starts 1 September 2026, is renewable for up to 3 years, and offers a tax-free remuneration of R320 000 per annum from NWU funding.

To apply, candidates should submit a CV with a publication list, at least two references, a summary of past research, and proof of qualifications. Enquiries and applications should be sent to Prof Chrisna Gouws by 15 June 2026.
