Post-Doctoral Scientist - Delivery, Devices & Connected Solutions (DDCS) Inhaled Drug Formulati[...]

Position Overview Post‑doctoral scientist contributing to pulmonary and nasal delivery through computational model development to support next‑generation inhalation therapies. Key Responsibilities Design and execute in vitro aerosol characterization experiments using pulmonary/nasal device platforms (droplet size distribution, delivered dose, delivery efficiency). Develop, validate, and apply CFD or PBPK/PBPD models to predict regional aerosol deposition across patient‑representative airway geometries. Integrate experimental aerosol data with in‑silico deposition predictions to support formulation optimization. Develop/validate IVIVC frameworks linking in vitro aerosol metrics (MMAD, FPF, delivered dose) to predicted in vivo regional deposition and, where feasible, PK/PD endpoints. Use uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis to assess variability in predicted deposition. Collaborate cross‑functionally and communicate via reports, presentations, and peer‑reviewed publications. Basic Requirements Ph.D. (conferred within past 3 years) in Mechanical/Chemical/Biomedical Engineering, Aerosol Science, or closely related field. Hands‑on pulmonary/nasal device characterization experience (e.g., NGI, laser diffraction, DUSA) and/or experimental fluid dynamics. Proven computational modeling proficiency (e.g., ANSYS Fluent/OpenFOAM CFD; MPPD). Strong, career‑stage‑appropriate publication record. Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast‑paced matrix environment. Authorized to work in the U.S. full‑time; no visa sponsorship. Additional Preferences Airway geometry modeling experience (e.g., Weibel, stochastic, CT‑derived). Industry internship or academic–industry research. Self‑directed, motivated; strong oral/written communication and data analysis. Other Information/Compensation Fixed‑term: 1 year, extendable up to 4 years. Anticipated wage: $58,000–$123,200; eligibility for company bonus and comprehensive benefits (401(k), medical/dental/vision, life insurance, time off). #J-18808-Ljbffr Scorpion Therapeutics
