Merck Post-Doc Opportunities

I hope this email finds you well.  I am writing to bring your attention to Merck’s Post-Doctoral Research Program.  The program, initiated in 2012 by Dr. Roger Perlmutter, Executive Vice President of Merck Research Labs, is intended to sponsor the continued academic development of exceptional young scientists from top academic institutions.  The values to the successful Post-Doctoral candidate are many, including:


 *   Ability to conduct academic research in a commercial environment
 *   Placement in unique laboratory environments  with top capabilities, equipment, expertise and knowledge
 *   Availability of highly developed infrastructure and core activities
 *   End-to-end view of drug development process
 *   Facilitated job placement at program exit


The program is 3 years in tenure with an annual review for contract renewal.

The Parenteral Product Development group, located in West Point PA, has been awarded the opportunity to sponsor a Post-Doctoral Researcher.  In this laboratory role, the researcher will work with highly cross-functional team to support the design and development of modified release non-oral formulations of small molecule or peptide pharmaceuticals, with a focus on biodegradable polymeric formulations (nano-/micro-particles and implants).

Complete details of the research and candidate requirements can be accessed via https://merck.taleo.net/careersection/merck_external_career_section/jobdetail.ftl?job=POS000139&lang=en
Please circulate this communication to qualified candidates within your group and to your extended academic collaborators as fit.  I look forward to connecting with you and interested students further as needed.

Sincerely,
Marian
