About this position
The University of Surrey's School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join their team in advancing mechanistic modelling of pharmaceutical processes. The focus of this position is on developing discrete element models (DEM) and hybrid approaches such as DEM-CFD and DEM-SPH to simulate and optimise pharmaceutical manufacturing. The successful candidate will work in a collaborative and innovative environment, engaging with both international university and industry partners.
Applicants should hold a PhD (or be near completion) in a relevant field, such as chemical engineering or chemistry, and possess strong numerical and programming skills. Experience in DEM or hybrid model development is essential, along with a proactive, problem-solving mindset and excellent collaboration skills. The research group is committed to diversity and encourages applications from all backgrounds, especially underrepresented groups.
This postdoctoral opportunity offers the chance to contribute to cutting-edge, physics-based modelling in pharmaceutical processes, within a supportive and inclusive research environment. The University of Surrey is a leading institution in the United Kingdom, known for its research excellence and commitment to innovation in chemical engineering and related fields.
To apply, candidates should visit the University of Surrey job portal, register or log in, and submit their application for the Postdoctoral Research Fellow position. The application deadline is 9 February 2026. For further details, applicants can refer to the provided job links. No specific funding or salary details are mentioned in the announcement.
