We invite applications for an EPSRC-funded Research Fellow (PostDoc) position on “Integrated Clinical Production Planning and Portfolio Management in the Biopharmaceutical Industry” in the Operational Research and Management Sciences Group at Warwick Business School.
New trends in personalized medicine pose new challenges to the development and manufacturing of biopharmaceutical drugs, on a technical and organisational level. The aim of the project is to create new decision tools to manage a company’s project portfolio along with capacity planning of resources at the clinical production stage. The project is part of the much larger EPSRC funded Future Targeted Healthcare Manufacturing Hub, a network of leading UK universities and 30 industry partners working on innovative manufacturing research for the targeted biopharmaceutical supply chain, covering all aspects from new technology and new decision tools to the regulatory framework. This network ensures a close collaboration with many other experts in the area, access to real-world data, and the possibility to work with PhD students.
Applicants should hold (or are about to complete) a PhD in Computer Science, Operational Research, Industrial Engineering, Applied Mathematics or a related discipline. A strong background in optimization under uncertainty and methods such as stochastic programming, approximate dynamic programming or metaheuristics as well as a background in biopharmaceutical manufacturing would be a great advantage.
Programming skills, fluency in English and excellent communication and presentation skills are essential.
