At our Ludwigshafen site, the position of Postdoctoral Senior Scientist is part of Product Development, Science and Technology (PDS&T). PDS&T drives the development of assets that have demonstrated promise in early clinical studies and also supports products that are already on the market. In this role, you will make an important contribution to the scientific evaluation and further development of innovative drug product concepts for biologics, with a focus on parenteral formulations and manufacturing.

Several innovative concepts for drug product design are currently being investigated. These require sound scientific evaluation and a clear study plan to enable robust product development. For this position, we are seeking a highly motivated scientific professional with strong analytical thinking, technological expertise, and a hands-on approach. You will plan, conduct, and evaluate studies to identify key risks and mechanisms involved in the co-formulation of biologics during drug development and manufacturing. This includes defined manufacturing steps and in-process controls to establish a modern, compliant, and robust control strategy while maintaining maximum flexibility.
