Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Pharmaron Full time
Undergraduate Research Opportunity - Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics

A Pharmaron placement will provide you with the opportunity to gain work experience in a pharmaceutical research environment, and help you kickstart your career. If you have an interest in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK), and want to learn more about bioanalysis and/or in vitro DMPK from highly skilled scientists, then apply for one of our two 12-month placements starting in summer 2025.

As part of the placement, you will work closely with your supervisor to plan and carry out experiments to support in vitro and/or in vivo studies. There will be hands-on training to enable you to perform in vitro assays or use liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) systems to develop new bioanalytical methods and process qualitative and quantitative results using instrument software. During your 12-month placement, you will have the opportunity to learn and gain hands-on experience in many systems, for example, the use of LC-MS and automated platforms to perform in vitro assays, spike calibration standards, and extract biological samples. Understanding, interpreting, and reporting results will also be a key aspect of the placement role. The data you generate will be used in the design of future compounds to optimise the DMPK profile of a compound for ideal development into a medicine.

What We Offer:
  • Vibrant and dynamic employment - we are a highly specialised, growth company operating in a critical sector of the economy - our future is strong and exciting
  • Opportunities to develop your skills and yourself - our rapid growth brings greater opportunities for you to learn and grow faster
  • A great team where we all support each other - enjoy your work - after all, you spend about a third of your time here

Requirements:
  • Studying towards an undergraduate degree in either a Chemistry, Biology, or Pharmacology related discipline.
  • Predicted 1st or 2:1 degree classification (or equivalent)
  • Strong teamwork skills
  • Excellent verbal and written communication
  • Good problem-solving skills
