About Universiti Teknologi MARA

Basic information and contact details for Universiti Teknologi MARA

institution

The Universiti Teknologi MARA (UITM) is one of Malaysia’s largest universities.

UITM was founded in 1956 as Dewan Latehan RIDA, a development a training centre for the Rural and Industrial Development Authority.

The acronym MARA stands for Majlis Amanah Rakyat, or People’s Trust Council. MARA is a government agency, the role of which is to train indigenous Mayasian people for roles in business and industry. UITM was governed by MARA for several years, but is now independent under the Ministry of Education.

There are 24 faculties and 3 academic centres at UITM. The faculties are grouped into three clusters: Science and Technology, Business and Management and Social Sciences and Humanities.

UITM alumni have gone on to hold important positions in government, business and the judiciary. They include Minister Azalina Othman Said, Chief Judge Richard Malanjum and Air Asia co-founder Kamarudin Meranun.

The university is based on 13 state campuses and 21 satellite campuses. The state of Selangor has the largest number of UITM campuses, and the main anchor campus is located in the state capital, Shah Alam. Known for its Blue Mosque, one of the largest in Southeast Asia, and its Garden of Islamic Arts, Shah Alam is a cultural Mecca.

Malaysia is a country cut in two by ocean. The capital city, Kuala Lumpur, and many other major cities can be found on peninsular Malaysia, with the wild jungle of Malaysian Borneo on a separate island. UITM’s campuses can be found across both parts of Malaysia.

This role offers a unique opportunity to join a dynamic research team focused on advancing the understanding of pharmaceutical formulation and manufacturing processes. The role The post holder will develop and implement mechanistic models to analyse and predict the behaviour of pharmaceutical processes. Your work will address key challenges within these processes, constructing robust models and simulations that deepen the understanding of the underlying physics involved. The ultimate goal is to create predictive, physics-based models that optimise and control pharmaceutical manufacturing processes effectively. Your main responsibility is to develop and enhance discrete element models (DEM), integrating physics-based mechanistic models to simulate complex fluid and particulate systems. About you This role requires independent initiative, teamwork, and a proactive approach to problem-solving and innovation in pharmaceutical process modelling. The ideal candidate will possess a strong numerical background with proficient programming skills and a proven research record through publications and code development. Experience in developing discrete element models (DEM) or hybrid models, such as DEM-CFD or DEM-SPH, is essential. For this position, a doctoral degree in a relevant discipline is required, although candidates nearing completion may be considered. Exceptional candidates with extensive experience may also be considered. The project involves collaboration with UK and international universities and industry partners, so strong teamwork and communication skills are essential.
