**Full-time, Fixed Term**
**Project Description**
This project is part of a large multi-institutional European consortium: SusPharma - Merging Sustainable and Digital Chemical Technologies for the Development of Greener-by-Design Pharmaceuticals which involves 9 universities and key industrial and digital technology players. This project will be based at the Department of Chemical Engineering, School of Aeronautical Automotive Chemical and Materials Engineering (AACME). Following a recent £25 million refurbishment, the department houses a range of state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and a modern office environment.
We are looking for an motivated and passionate individual to join our multidisciplinary research group, particularly the new team of three Postdoctoral Research Associates (PDRA) leading the intended SusPharma research project at Loughborough University. We are committed to achieving equality for all those who learn and work here and providing a diverse and inclusive working environment.
**Full project details**
The overall objective of SusPharma is to (i) use of renewable (bio-based) feedstocks to synthesise key pharmaceuticals, (ii) develop new benchtop continuous purification methods to recover active pharmaceutical ingredients, remove impurities and recycle synthetic solvents,(iii) integrate digitalization methods and artificial intelligence to deliver sustainable synthetic and purification pathways, (iv) develop autonomous platforms for systematic optimal design of experiments and process optimisation, (v) address the digital skills gap and provide the pharmaceutical industry with the next generation digital leaders.
The project will build a multidisciplinary ecosystem focused on the development and implementation of advanced strategies for reaction engineering, Artificial Intelligence (AI), product and process modelling and optimisation, Computer Aided Molecular Design (CAMD), digitalisation, robotics, and automation.
The project is led by Dr Brahim Benyahia.
