The successful candidate will develop and implement our scientific strategy for applying in vitro NAMs to nonclinical toxicology, including platform characterization and qualification, establishing an understanding of the strengths and limitations of various models, developing roadmaps for applying in vitro NAMs to high attrition organ toxicities, and guiding the interfaces with external consortia and peer industry groups. The individual in this role will participate as an individual contributor by applying their hands-on expertise to solve scientific problems within a matrixed laboratory environment. The successful candidate will have a deep knowledge of complex in vitro models with hands-on experience for applying these models to answer relevant scientific questions.

Works together with Investigative Toxicology Lead and Investigative Toxicology Senior Lab Scientists to mentor and train junior lab colleagues.
Performs all regulatory responsibilities in compliance with applicable regulatory standards.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Self-motivated, detail-oriented with excellent oral and written communication skills to effectively communicate within a team environment, enabling presentation and publication of scientific data and results.
Strong interpersonal skills, able to take the initiative to lead projects and develop and execute a pre-determined plan.
Needs to possess the ability to multi-task and align priorities with program objectives.

Sunshine Act

Pfizer reports payments and other transfers of value to health care providers as required by federal and state transparency laws and implementing regulations. These laws and regulations require Pfizer to provide government agencies with information such as a health care provider's name, address and the type of payments or other value received, generally for public disclosure. Subject to further legal review and statutory or regulatory clarification, which Pfizer intends to pursue, reimbursement of recruiting expenses for licensed physicians may constitute a reportable transfer of value under the federal transparency law commonly known as the Sunshine Act. Therefore, if you are a licensed physician who incurs recruiting expenses as a result of interviewing with Pfizer that we pay or reimburse, your name, address and the amount of payments made currently will be reported to the government.
