Job description
This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious postgraduate with a
background in mechanical or chemical engineering or other relevant
disciplines to complete a project to develop a predictive model for
manufacturability of pharmaceutical tablet formulations.
Although employed by the University and carrying out a large percentage of
the work at the University, you will be based at I Hollands’s premises in
Long Eaton – near Nottingham – with a pivotal role in driving
this unique academic and industrial collaboration. This KTP aims to examine
material properties and deliver a predictive model that will inform tablet
producers the type of XDF (eXtended Dwell Flat) Form Head that will reduce
sticking. This tool will be embedded across the business and its agents.
Ultimately, the project will support I Holland’s research and development
team to embed new knowledge into the company that will increase
competitiveness and profitability.
