As a Research Fellow, you'll be at the heart of the action, working within the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MIPS), Australia's largest and most successful group of pharmaceutical scientists.
At MIPS, innovation meets impact. This role will involve contributing to the Monash-Moderna Quantitative Pharmacology Accelerator (MMQPA), where you'll collaborate with experts in mRNA science, quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP), pharmacometrics, clinical pharmacology, and drug development. As a Level A research-only academic, you will conduct cutting-edge QSP research, presenting your findings at conferences and publishing in key journals. Be part of a team that not only excels in drug discovery, drug delivery, and drug development but also played a pivotal role in development and understanding of mRNA therapeutics globally.
