The Position
Student Internships in Solid State Science for students enrolled in chemistry, chemical or process engineering, pharmacy, pharmaceutical sciences, pharmaceutical technology, or physics.
As part of the global technical development organization, the Particle Design group is the center of excellence for the design of drug substance particles with tailor-made solid-state properties to facilitate downstream processing to the drug product. This includes the development and optimization of the processes on laboratory scale, as well as scale-up of the corresponding manufacturing processes in close collaboration with the production sites. Our responsibilities also include the evaluation and implementation of new strategies to obtain particles with the desired properties.
Internship Areas:
* Co-processing of API with inorganic materials
* Spherical crystallization scale-up / industrialization
* Ab-initio solubility prediction enhanced by machine learning
You are an enrolled student in the subject of chemistry, chemical or process engineering, pharmacy, pharmaceutical sciences, pharmaceutical technology, physics or a related field (preferably with a bachelor's degree) and have an interest and experience in crystallization and solid-state characterization. Furthermore, you are interested in using and sharing your knowledge as part of a 6-12 months internship in a modern working environment.
Your Profile:
* Team-oriented and decision-making personality
* Problem solving-oriented work habits
* Good knowledge of MS-Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) & Google equivalents (gSheets, gDocs, gSlides)
* Proficient in English, German is a plus
* Experience working in a lab-environment.
The internship opportunities are three of a number of positions we offer in the department per semester. The interviews will take place on an interview day with all considered candidates and the whole department.
Application Requirements:
* A Current CV and a Motivation Letter
* A certificate of enrollment (if you are currently studying). If you want to use this opportunity to do a Master's or Diploma thesis, please highlight this in your application
* A certificate issued by your university stating that an Internship is mandatory for your studies
We embrace diversity and equal opportunity in a serious way. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
