Why Patients Need You

Pfizer's purpose is to deliver breakthroughs that change patients' lives. Research and Development is at the heart of fulfilling Pfizer's purpose as we work to translate advanced science and technologies into the therapies and vaccines that matter most. Whether you are in the discovery sciences, ensuring drug safety and efficacy or supporting clinical trials, you will apply cutting edge design and process development capabilities to accelerate and bring the best-in-class medicines to patients around the world.

What You Will Achieve

The Myeloid and Tissue Remodeling group, as part of Inflammation and Immunology Research Unit, at Cambridge, MA is seeking a highly driven and innovative Ph.D.-level scientist to join our discovery group as postdoctoral research fellow in driving therapeutic innovation through exploration of fibrotic disease pathophysiology.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will embark on a research project aiming to define cellular and molecular mechanisms of chronic injury resolution. This is a unique opportunity to be trained at the interface of fibrogenesis and scar regression, work collaboratively with diverse research teams within Pfizer, and publish at high-impact journals.

The ideal candidate should have solid training in immunology and good understanding of RNA sequencing techniques. By the end of the program, the Postdoctoral Fellow will be proficient in inflammation and fibrosis biology, cutting-edge single-cell RNA sequencing-based cell profiling and implementing chronic fibrosis preclinical models.

How You Will Achieve It
Contribute intellectually and at the bench to the project conception, design and execution.
Independently interpret and analyze data and communicate findings to mentor.
Being proactive to solve problem, by identifying problems and proposing ways to resolve them before the impacts are felt.
Collaborate and develop close partnerships with Next-Generation Sequencing team members working on developing pipelines spanning cell preparation to sample analysis.
Present the research work at various internal and external meetings and publish in high-impact journals.
Ensure all tasks and responsibilities are carried out according to scientific and ethical standards.
Exercise and build basic team effectiveness skills {e.g., commitment, feedback, consensus management) within context of immediate work group.

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.
