Our QSP & PBPK team has established expertise, impact, and tools, and we are looking for a highly motivated scientist to develop and apply Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) models with a primary focus on hematology, oncology, and cell therapy applications to primarily impact clinical development. QSP models are mechanistic, mathematical models based on integration of non-clinical/clinical knowledge and data to represent varying scales of drug pharmacology from target binding and modulation through disease pathophysiology and multi-drug pharmacology. They can be applied to aid in target prioritization, therapeutic modality selection, chemical/biotherapeutic optimization, biomarker characterization, combination assessment, clinical trial design, and trial interpretation.
Responsibilities:
+ Provide leadership to and collaboration with multidisciplinary project teams to develop and apply QSP models
+ Partner with external groups to accelerate the internal Systems Pharmacology efforts in key disease areas
+ Provide expert support to project teams to design, execute and interpret clinical studies
+ With some supervision, network with stakeholders in other functions to facilitate model development and application
+ Coordinate with the QSP&PBPK methods lead on methodologies for virtual population workflows and script-based analysis packages and customize as needed
+ With some supervision, align QSP model deliverables with clinical pharmacology, pre-clinical, and clinical development plans as appropriate
+ Stay informed with emerging literature and science in the systems biology/pharmacology modeling and simulation sciences
+ Build and maintain a personal track record of publication in the area of QSP
Position requirements:
+ Ph.D. in Engineering, Mathematics, Bioinformatics, Pharmacometrics, Systems Biology/Pharmacology or a related field
+ Following the Ph.D., 2+ years of mathematical modeling & computer simulation experience in the pharmaceutical industry for the Sr. Research Investigator level. No additional industry experience is needed for the Research Investigator level
+ Experience within the pharmaceutical industry or pharmaceutical consulting is desired (academic post-doctoral or faculty may be a consideration depending on the totality of prior experience)
+ Excellent understanding of theory, principles and statistical aspects of advanced mathematical modeling and simulation
+ Good understanding of the basic principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
+ Ability to learn new areas of biological sciences and build on solid foundation of quantitative skills to develop QSP models
+ Ability to communicate internally and externally on topics related to CP&P and QSP is required
+ Ability to keep up to date with and propose the implementation of scientific and technological developments in the area of Systems Pharmacology/Biology
+ Hands-on experience with modeling software like MATLAB/SimBiology/Simulink, Entelos PhysioLab Platform, DBSolve, etc. Experience with MATLAB SimBiology would be particularly desirable
+ Experience with general programming and data analysis tools/languages such as MATLAB, Python, R, Spotfire, etc., is required
+ Desire to interact as a modeling and simulation expert across clinical development teams with experts from different functional areas (pre-clinical and clinical)
+ Knowledge of current practices and issues in pharmaceutical R&D in disciplines such as clinical pharmacology, bioanalytical, biopharmaceutics, and toxicology
+ This position will primarily support QSP applied to oncology-related indications. Knowledge of immunology especially as applied to immuno-oncology applications is a plus
+ This position may be located in Princeton, NJ; Cambridge, MA; Brisbane, CA
