CMAC Medicines Manufacturing Research Centre is a world-class centre of excellence for advanced crystallisation and pharmaceutical manufacturing research, training and translation. Working in partnership with industry, CMAC’s goal is to transform the development and manufacture of medicines through the development and exploitation of digital design and advanced manufacturing technologies.
Our portfolio of activity is focussed on four key pillars to deliver:
- high quality manufacturing research;
- the workforce of the future through skills development and training;
- effective translation of research into industry;
- continuing to develop our world leading facilities and Lab of the Future infrastructure.
Led by the University of Strathclyde with our partners in the University of Leeds, Imperial College London and University of Sheffield, CMAC has secured a Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) grant funded by UKRI to launch the new CDT in Cyber-physical Systems for Medicine Development and Manufacturing (CEDAR). Developed in collaboration with industry partners, CEDAR will train 90 future leaders with the multidisciplinary skills essential for advancing next-generation, sustainable medicines manufacturing.
The CEDAR programme places individual students at its core, providing world-class technical training, impactful research opportunities, and the establishment of a lifelong network of peers, academic faculty and industry experts. Graduates will embark on transformative research projects aligned with the Industry 5.0 paradigm and develop the way that cyber-physical systems can help make medicines manufacturing more sustainable, resilient and human-centric.
Applications are invited from experienced administrators seeking a vibrant and challenging role to provide first-class, full organisational and administrative support to the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) and contribute to the operational excellence of CMAC, located within the Technology.
