PhD Opportunities for recent Pharmacy graduates within an EU funded Marie Curie Training Network
Have you ever considered completing a structured PhD training programme in another EU country? PEARRL is a European Training Network (ETN) recently funded under the Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions. PEARRL is a specialist PhD programme focused on developing innovative drug formulation strategies and regulatory tools tailored to facilitate earlier access to medicines. It brings together European Pharma industry, academia and regulatory agency partners in a multi-sectorial team to deliver a unique PhD training programme for 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESR).
PEARRL will train 15 PhD students on strategies to develop novel bio-enabling formulations (“better drug products”), biorelevant and in silico methods to predict formulation performance in vivo (“streamlined development”) and serve as communication bridgers between research and regulatory science (“accelerated approval”), thus bringing Pharma industry and regulatory agencies objectives to fruition
PEARRL have recently advertised PhD Studentships within the ETN. For further information please see the PEARRL website http://www.pearrl.eu/. The candidates will be recruited within 2016 for a duration of 36 months. The deadline for applications is 15th May 2016.
