Research professor or postdoctoral positions in systems/synthetic biology are immediately 
available at the Yoon Lab (Systems Biology) in the Department of Chemical Engineering, University 
of Massachusetts Lowell (MA, USA). The research group is a core part of the Massachusetts 
BioManufacturing Center (www.uml.edu/mbmc) and Biomanufacturing Consortium 
(www.uml.edu/bpqc). Currently we are looking for experienced and highly motivated researcher to 
support Population PKPD modeling project of LAI (Long Acting Injectables), and biomanufacturing 
research projects. The appointments are funded through FDA and pharmaceutical companies. The 
initial position is for one year, with the second and third year of employment dependent upon 
performance in the previous year.

Work for this position will largely involve developing mechanistic and statistical models for 
population PKPD models. Strong statistical and mechanistic modeling, and analytical skills are 
required. PKPD modeling, Gene expression, cDNA sequence, protein, metabolites, glycosylation, 
trace element profiling datasets of media and cell-culture samples will be addressed. 

FDA project requires some project management skills. The University of Massachusetts Lowell is 
committed to increasing diversity in its faculty, staff, and student populations, as well as 
curriculum and support programs, while promoting an inclusive environment. We seek candidates 
who can contribute to that goal and encourage you to apply and to identify your strengths in this 
area. 

•	Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Biological Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or related field 
•	Experience with cell-culture, media development, cell-line development and analytical, the 
JMP, SIMCA, Matlab, R statistical package is a plus 
•	Experience with Systems Modeling Tools, NONMEM, gPROMS, ASPEN+

To apply, combine the following documents into one PDF file: cover letter, CV, description of 
scientific achievements (~one page), contact information for two references. Send this PDF file as 
soon as possible to: [log in to unmask] Review of applications will begin immediately and 
continue until the position is filled. However, the position may close when an adequate number of 
qualified applications are received.
