Job Description
1. Research & Specialization
In Pharmaceutics, the \"publish or perish\" mantra often focuses on innovation in drug delivery. Key areas of focus for a modern Assistant Professor include:
Novel Drug Delivery Systems (NDDS): Developing liposomes, nanoparticles, or microspheres.
Biopharmaceutics & Pharmacokinetics: Studying $ADME$ (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion) profiles.
Regulatory Science: Navigating FDA/EMA guidelines for new drug applications.
Industrial Pharmacy: Scaling up formulations from lab-scale to pilot-plant scale.
2. Teaching & Curriculum Development
You aren't just teaching chemistry; you are teaching the bridge between a chemical entity and a medicine.
Core Subjects: Physical Pharmacy, Unit Operations, Biopharmaceutics, and Dosage Form Design.
Lab Instruction: Supervising students in the \"wet lab\" on techniques like tablet compression, dissolution testing, and sterile product formulation.
Mentorship: Guiding M. Pharm and Ph. D. candidates through their thesis work.
3. Grant Writing and Funding
Securing external funding is a primary metric for tenure. You’ll likely be looking toward:
Government Grants: (e.g., NIH, NSF, or regional equivalents).
Industry Collaborations: Partnering with pharmaceutical companies for contract research.
University Seed Grants: Utilizing internal funds to generate preliminary data.
4. Service and Administration
Accreditation: Helping the department maintain standards (like ACPE or PCI).
Peer Review: Evaluating manuscripts for journals in the field (e.g., Journal of Controlled Release).
Committees: Serving on ethics or curriculum committees.
