At Boehringer Ingelheim in Biberach an der Riu00df, Germany, we offer you the opportunity to join our Discovery Research team as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Environmental Biodegradation Assessment. In this exciting role, youu2019ll work at the crossroads of drug discovery for both Animal Health and Human Pharma, contributing directly to our mission of developing environmentally sustainable medicines. Ready to make a meaningful impact? Apply now and be part of our journey toward a healthier, more sustainable future This Position is limited for 2 years. Note: To make it easier to find our job advertisements, we use the usual designation "Post Doc". Of course, this advertisement is not only addressed to applicants directly after completing their doctorate, but to all qualified candidates. Tasks & responsibilities In your new role you will work with the Sustainable Medicines Lead for Animal Health to establish workflows for the early environmental fate assessment of antiparasitic active ingredients (APIs) during Drug Discovery from the ground up. Key task will be the development of an innovative assay for investigating the environmental persistence, transformation kinetics and half-life of APIs. In doing so, you will design and execute experiments to select appropriate environmental test matrices, validate the assay, and show translatability to real-world environmental data. In addition, you will optimize the assay for higher throughput to ensure the assay is suitable to facilitate the design of APIs with improved environmental half-lives. Furthermore, you will collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams to integrate this new approach in existing workflows and disseminate key learnings from the experimental work into the organization. Requirements PhD in Environmental Sciences, Analytical Sciences, Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, or related fields Strong understanding of biotransformation and desire to apply knowledge to processes in environmental matrices (e.g., soil, sediment, activated sludge) Advanced experimental skills setting up assay systems with biological samples and experience in biodegradability and/or high-throughput testing is a plus Ability to implement an innovative workflow or enabling new experimental setups from the ground up Proven track record of independent research, demonstrated through publications or patents as well as experience in managing and implementing projects with diverse teams Strong communicator and team player with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary research environment Passion for sustainability and commitment to reducing the environmental footprint of medicines Excellent oral and written communication skills in English; German language skills are a plus Ready to contact us?
