Post Doctoral Fellow: Amorphous Particle Engineering Job Ridgefield area,Connecticut USA,Engineering

Description

Boehringer Ingelheim is seeking an enthusiastic, creative, and highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Solid State and API Engineering Group in Material and Analytical Sciences Department at our US headquarters in Ridgefield, CT. The Ridgefield campus, along with our sister sites in Texas and California, includes a thriving community of postdocs and PhD students that connect globally with their peers on our European campuses.

The main responsibility of this position is to understand the chemical engineering fundamentals in controlled API-polymer solidification (CAPS) processes, in particular the mechanism of solid formation during distillation and/or drying and how to control the kinetics to ensure robust process control and product quality.

As a Postdoctoral Fellow, you will be responsible for conducting independent research under the direct guidance of an experienced Principal Investigator and further supported by a team of experts committed to your success. You will interact with a diverse range of individuals (including mentors, fellow researchers, students, and collaborators from various institutions), and help to foster a collaborative research environment that facilitates exchange of knowledge and ideas.

Your research will be focused on fundamental scientific questions and new methodologies that align with the goals of the department and contribute to Boehringer-Ingelheim’s innovative and growing pipeline. You will be expected to present your work to internal leadership and, ultimately, publish your findings in leading journals within the field. Postdoctoral Fellowships are three-year positions, with a potential one-year extension.

As an employee of Boehringer Ingelheim, you will actively contribute to the discovery, development, and delivery of our products to our patients and customers. Our global presence provides an opportunity for all employees to collaborate internationally, offering visibility and the opportunity to directly contribute to the company s success. We realize that our strength and competitive advantage lie with our people.

We support our employees in several ways to foster a healthy working environment, meaningful work, mobility, networking, and work-life balance. Our competitive compensation and benefit programs reflect Boehringer Ingelheim s high regard for our employees.

With support from their advisor and team, the ideal candidate is expected to:
Design and conduct their own independent research project(s).
Collaborate with other researchers within and outside Boehringer Ingelheim.
Effectively communicate and defend their own work in the context of team and department goals, both orally and in writing.
Establish an international reputation in your area of expertise with publications and conference participation at national and international events.
Publish first-author manuscript(s) and/or patenting of novel technologies/processes.

Requirements

Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering with a preference of no more than three (3) years of previous Post Doctoral experience.
Strong foundation in chemical engineering subjects, such as thermodynamics, heat transfer and mass transfer principles.
Hands-on experiences designing and executing wet-lab experiments.
Experience with basic solid state characterization techniques, such as x-ray diffraction, TGA, DSC, SEM and other related…
