Post-Doc Position available

Postdoc positions available:

The Clinical Pharmacy & Biochemistry group at Freie Universität Berlin is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher with a focus on antimicrobial resistance. The GlobalResist project aims to forecast the evolution of antimicrobial resistance and thus take a new approach to solving a major global health problem. GlobalResist is embedded in a consortium of partners from Freie Universitaet Berlin, Charité-Universitaetsmedizin Berlin and Technische Universitaet Berlin and is funded by the Berlin University Alliance. Last day to apply 24 April 2023.

PhD Student (3 yrs.) - University of Hamburg, Germany

The Dept. of Clinical Pharmacy at the University of Hamburg, Germany, is hiring a PhD student. The anticipated starting date is May 2023, but the exact date can be defined individually. The project is embedded in a EU consortium that focuses on optimizing the therapy of ceftazidime/avibactam and fosfomycin against Enterobacterales (JPIAMR - CAVIFOS, https://www.jpiamr.eu/projects/cavifos/). The PhD project will involve pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic studies in the hollow-fiber infection model as well as pharmacometric modelling and development of model-informed precision dosing tools to translate the findings into a clinical perspective.

Candidates should have an interest in pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and data sciences. Skills in pharmacometric modelling are helpful, but not mandatory. The application can be submitted here (https://www.uni-hamburg.de/stellenangebote/ausschreibung.html?jobID=b0c1c1cfba91de9237a14bb09ddbbabd928d4695).

News March 2022

Dear ISAP members!

As the situation in Europe is steadily stabilizing after the pandemic winter, we are pleased to share with you information on two upcoming events around the ECCMID meeting in April 2022:


EPASG Pre-ECCMID Course 
Prior to ECCMID, on 21-22 April 2022, EPASG is hosting a on-site workshop titled "Optimised dosing of antibiotics - understanding PK/PD, clinical breakpoints, and therapeutic drug monitoring" in Oerias (close to Lisbon), Portugal. ESCMID indicated that the course is filling up quickly. The program can be found here. Register here, if you are interested to join!

ISAP Meeting  
Right after the EPASG course on 22 April 2022, and hence on the evening before ECCMID, we will hold an ISAP Scientific Meeting from 16.30 to approx. 20.00 in the same hotel (Lagoas Park, Oerias) as the EPASG course, in Oerias, Portugal. Registration is now closed.

Location (ca. 20 mins from Lisbon airport/Lisbon city centre by taxi):
Lagoas Park Hotel
Rua Encosta das Lagoas
2740-245 Porto Salvo, Portugal

Program:

16.15-16.30 Arrival and Welcome
16.30-17.15 ISAP General Meeting 
17.15-19.00 Young Investigator Session
