Research Fellow A in Discrete Element Modelling of Tablet Disintegration
Join to apply for the Research Fellow A in Discrete Element Modelling of Tablet Disintegration role at University of Surrey.
Base pay range
The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research. We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world, which we are achieving through the talents and endeavour of every employee. Our culture empowers people to achieve this aim and to collectively, and individually, make a real difference.
The role
The School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the University of Surrey invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in the mechanistic modelling of pharmaceutical tablet disintegration. This UKRI/EPSRC-funded project offers a unique opportunity to join a dynamic research team collaborating with a consortium of academic and industry partners.
The post holder will be responsible for developing and implementing mechanistic models, primarily using the Discrete Element Method (DEM), to analyse and predict pharmaceutical tablet disintegration. The goal is to construct robust, physics-based simulations that deepen the understanding of the underlying processes and ultimately create predictive tools for optimisation and control.
About You
Essential qualifications and experience:
* PhD in a relevant discipline (or near completion).
* Strong numerical background with proficient programming skills.
* Experience developing Discrete Element Models (DEM) or hybrid models (e.g., DEM-CFD, DEM-SPH).
* Proven research record through publications and code development.
* Proactive individual with strong initiative, problem‑solving skills, and ability to work independently and as part of a team.
* Excellent communication skills for collaboration with UK/international universities and industry partners.
