Your Role
The role of Scientific Director, Pharmacometrics, in Quantitative Pharmacology within the broader Clinical Measurement Sciences organization, will be a scientific and cross-functional role, responsible for developing and executing Model Informed Drug Development (MIDD) plans and strategies from early translational to late-stage clinical development in cross-functional drug discovery and development project teams in close collaboration with colleagues in Clinical Pharmacology, Translational Quantitative Pharmacology, Biostatistics, Data Sciences, Patient-Focused Real-World Evidence, Clinical Biomarkers and Diagnostics, Research, Clinical Development and other colleagues within the R&D organization.
In this role, you will participate in activities to strengthen pharmacometrics platform capabilities by contributing to the strategic use of modeling & simulation (M&S) methodologies across disease areas, in alignment with the clinical development plan. There will be close engagement with all key stakeholders to ensure timely and high-quality pharmacometrics deliverables for the program.
You will be responsible for pharmacometrics activities executed internally or in collaboration with external CROs and will provide close scientific and technical supervision. You will also be expected to independently manage multiple projects simultaneously and participate in discussions and presentations.
Who You Are

• PhD in pharmacometrics or a related disciple (e.g. clinical pharmacology, statistics, engineering, mathematics)
• 5+ years of industry experience with hands-on pharmacometrics modeling and application of MIDD principles in a drug-development setting
• Position requires both domestic and international travel up to 20% of time
• Excellent knowledge of and experience in application of population PK/PD models, exposure-response models, disease progression models, clinical trial simulations, Bayesian methodologies, and model-based meta-analyses to drive MIDD
• Thorough understanding of global regulatory guidelines relevant to MIDD (e.g., Population PK, exposure-response, pediatric extrapolation)
• Ability to translate highly mechanistic systems models to population PK/PD frameworks in clinical development
• Experience in pharmacostatistical modeling methods and sound understanding of the principles of statistics including Bayesian methodologies as applicable for advanced pharmacometrics modeling and clinical trial simulations
• Knowledge of emerging areas of pharmacometrics including applications of machine learning/ artificial intelligence for model-informed precision medicine development
• Experience with model-informed development of both small molecules and biologics and across all phases of clinical development is required
• Good command of NONMEM and R is an absolute prerequisite. Experience with other tools (e.g., MONOLIX, PsN, Xpose, SAS, Stan, Python, MATLAB and Simcyp) is desired
• General knowledge of oncology, neurology and/or immunology, is desirable
