CMAC ignites global research ambitions: Hosting Postdoctoral researchers for their prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship
As a world-leading centre for medicines manufacturing, CMAC has launched a campaign encouraging postdoctoral researchers from around the globe, to apply for a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship.
In enlisting CMAC as their host institution, successful applicants can expect to access the CMAC Facility boasting cutting-edge equipment ranging from advanced manufacturing and analytical technologies, to collaborative robotics and high-end CPU and GPU computational resources. A skills and training programme created for CMAC’s researcher community prepares MSCA Fellows to become multi-skilled future leaders.
A further opportunity to working in CMAC is its global network of industry partners, each working alongside CMAC to drive research and innovation in the pharmaceutical sector. These industrial partners play a pivotal role in supporting CMAC’s research community, and through networking, collaboration or placements, researchers gain invaluable insights and work experience whilst working towards seeing the translation of their research into industry.
These resources give researchers the opportunity to work in a cutting-edge, dynamic research and training environment allowing them to delve into a range of areas from primary processing to materials characterisation, and more.
Daniel Markl, Associate Director said -
“CMAC is a dynamic community of multidisciplinary researchers advancing medicine development and manufacturing. Our bespoke training programs, supported by leading academics and global industrial partners, prepare researchers for academic and industrial roles. With a vibrant ecosystem and focus on career development, our researchers are well-equipped to become future leaders and make an impact.”
Researchers interested in pursuing fellowships hosted at CMAC are invited to get in touch. CMAC’s team will help to identify a suitable academic supervisor, potential partners, and the appropriate infrastructure to support their ambitious research. CMAC will also create a bespoke development package with the researcher and support them through this next stage in their career.
Laura, a former CMAC international PhD student said –
“CMAC played a pivotal role in my professional life. Through interactions with pharmaceutical companies and universities, as well as the guidance of dedicated academics and researchers, I was able to not only complete my PhD, but also launch a successful career in the industry. I am proud to have been a part of such a supportive and innovative community.”
CMAC’s vision is to be a globally leading research centre to transform medicines development, manufacture & supply. It is operated by the University of Strathclyde, a leading international technological university located in the centre of Glasgow’s Innovation District.
