Opis stanowiska

The center for pharmaceutical data science education is a joint effort by seven departments at two universities to raise the data literacy of people discovering, developing and helping the right usage of drugs. We aim to rapidly evolve and integrate data and modelling heavy research into the pharmaceutical education contributing to progressing the cultures and mindsets of people and organizations involved in the pharma value chain. To do this we are creating and joining expertise at the universities and the broader ecosystem. The center aims to be human-centric and characterized by co-leadership and high levels of autonomy and empowerment.
