[Jobs] Fully Funded PhD/CDT Studentship: Adaptive Robotic Chemists Adaptive Robotic Chemists for Resilient Pharmaceuticals at the University of Liverpool, UK
Gabriella Pizzuto
Dear Colleagues,
We are seeking a highly motivated individual for a fully funded PhD studentship at the University of Liverpool, working on a cutting-edge project titled "Adaptive Robotic Chemists for Resilient Pharmaceuticals" as part of our Centre for Doctoral Training in Digital and Automated Materials Chemistry.
This exciting interdisciplinary project sits at the intersection of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Chemistry/Materials Science. The goal is to develop the next generation of autonomous robotic chemists for resilient and efficient pharmaceutical manufacturing. Specifically, we will explore how intelligent robotic systems can be designed and deployed for dissolution testing using a human-robot collaborative approach, in collaboration with our industrial partner Bristol Myers Squibb (a multi-national pharma company).
The Candidate: We are looking for candidates with a strong background in a relevant discipline such as:
- Chemistry or Materials Science (with strong computational interest/skills)
- Computer Science or AI (with interest in scientific applications)
- Engineering (Chemical, Electrical, Mechatronic, or related fields)
Essential skills/interests include a passion for research, strong problem-solving abilities, and enthusiasm for working across disciplines. Programming skills (e.g., Python/C++) and an interest in robotics are essential.
The Environment: You will join a vibrant, collaborative research community at the University of Liverpool and the Materials Innovation Factory, working alongside leading researchers in digital chemistry, robotics, and AI.
Funding: This is a fully funded studentship for UK Home students/EU/international candidates.
How to Apply: For full project details, eligibility criteria, and the online application process, please visit the formal advert: https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/study/postgraduate-research/studentships/adaptive-robotic-chemists-for-resilient-pharmaceuticals/
Application Deadline: 25th May 2025 - Early application is strongly encouraged as we will close the post once a suitable candidate is found.
Informal Enquiries: For further information about the project, please contact myself on gabriell...@liverpool.ac.uk.
We believe this project offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a rapidly evolving field with significant real-world impact. We look forward to receiving your applications.
Best regards,
