The successful candidate will join the Translational Modeling and Simulation (TMS) team within Pfizer's Department of Pharmacokinetics, Dynamics, and Metabolism (PDM). As a core member of multidisciplinary project teams, the candidate will leverage principles and practices of quantitative translational pharmacology (PKPD, PBPK, QSP) to influence decision making from project ideation through early clinical development for both biologic and small molecule modalities. Emphasis will be in oncology with a particular focus on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), but also with opportunities in other therapeutic areas such as immunology and inflammation, metabolic diseases, and infectious diseases.
Responsibilities:
Work closely with multidisciplinary project teams to develop and implement mechanistic mathematical models of pharmacology to aid in target selection, target prioritization, therapeutic modality selection, chemical/biotherapeutic optimization, quantification of exposure-response relationships, biomarker characterization and early clinical trial designCollaborate with research biology in the development of in-vitro assays and in-vivo models to generate data that inform preclinical-to-clinical translational PKPD modelsProvide expert support to project teams to design, execute and interpret quantitative pharmacology studiesPartner with colleagues in Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics to develop end-to-end alignment in model-informed drug development (MIDD) plans and to collectively advance the science and impact of mechanistic modeling and simulation.Network as appropriate with global experts in the department and other groups to share learnings and enhance consistency in best practices across sites, disease areas, and interventional modalitiesKeep up to date with emerging literature in the area of mechanistic modeling and simulation sciencesContinue to build a personal track record of publication in the area of PKPD modeling and simulation and contribute to PDM's external publication/presentation goals consistent with our sustained investments in the area of modeling and simulationSome travel required.
Basic Qualifications:
Ph.D. degree or equivalent experience in pharmaceutical sciences, systems pharmacology, pharmacometrics, engineering, mathematics, physics or similar disciplines where modeling and simulation is emphasized.2+ years of pharmaceutical industry or related experience in developing and applying quantitative pharmacology models (e.g. PBPK, PKPD, QSP) models to guide project teams from early discovery to early clinical developmentExcellent understanding of theory, principles and statistical aspects of advanced mathematical modeling and simulationAbility to effectively translate/condense/summarize outcomes of modeling and simulation analyses into useable information for multidisciplinary project teamsGood team player and communicatorAbility to work with on-site and remote colleaguesGood listener and ability to effectively interact with colleagues with a variety of backgroundsKeen to interact as a modeling and simulation expert with matrix project teams working closely with within PDM as well as biology, protein engineering, chemistry, safety and clinical scientistsStrong belief that modeling and simulation can have a significant positive impact on research projectsIn depth, hands-on knowledge of the state-of-the-art modeling and simulation software with (NONMEM, MATLAB, Monolix, Berkeley-Madonna, R or comparable applications)Ability to learn new areas of biological sciences and build on a solid foundation of quantitative skills to develop mechanistically relevant PKPD modelsAbility to keep up to date with and propose the implementation of scientific and technological developments in the area of PKPD modeling and simulationMotivated to develop a career as a hands-on, technical modeling and simulation expert in a preclinical drug discovery environmentCommitted to sharing technical expertise and the development of self and others
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in working in the oncology disease area with a focus on ADCsFamiliarity with novel biotherapeutic modalities (bispecifics, Fc-fusions and other targeting agents)Familiarity with dispositional and pharmacological aspects of both small molecules and biologics.

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. If you have questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact your Talent Acquisition representative.
