Job DescriptionOur Research Scientists are our Inventors. We identify and target steps in disease mechanisms or pathways that could be inhibited or enhanced. Our goal is to isolate a compound that is effective against a disease target. Using innovative thinking, state-of-the-art facilities and robust scientific methodology we collaborate to discover the next medical breakthrough.We are seeking talented scientists to join the Quantitative Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics (QP2) Immuno-Oncology and Vaccines team in the role of Senior Scientist. In this role, you will apply quantitative approaches to develop and implement translational PK/PD strategies, characterize clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of new chemical entities and biologics, and perform clinical trial simulations to inform dose selection and go/no-go decisions. You will work in collaborative teams with more experienced scientists across disciplines, and are expected to have or develop expertise in one or more areas necessary to performing primary responsibilities including:
Being or supporting the lead representative for QP2 on oncology/vaccine discovery and/or development teams
