  • Play a central role in predicting human dose range, characterizing exposure-response relationship and justifying dose recommendations for special populations.
  • Develop mathematical models to understand disease, its progression, and drug pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics; conduct meta-analyses as appropriate to generate knowledge through data re-use; conduct simulations to assess trial design performance.
  • Present strategy and discuss outcome of model-based approaches via interactions with governance boards and regulatory agencies.
  • Provide a thorough understanding and ability to apply appropriate FDA and ICH guidelines in the design of clinical studies and drug development strategy.
  • Promote model-informed drug discovery and development (MID3) through external collaboration, journal publication and conference presentation.
  • Design and interpret clinical pharmacology studies to evaluate potential effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
  • Identify opportunities to utilize in silico PBPK approaches to replace in vivo clinical studies to explore the impact of DDI and special populations on PK where appropriate.
  • Write sections of drug development and registration documents such as clinical trial protocols and reports, clinical investigator brochures and regulatory submission packages.
  • Learn and apply emerging modelling and simulation methodologies with a view to enhance clinical program efficiency and investment decision quality; collaborate with external field-leading teams for methodology application.
  • Innovate through working effectively with colleagues in the department and other matrix team members, including: statisticians, biologists, physicians and drug metabolism scientists.
Why you? Basic Qualifications:

  • Experience of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles and commonly applied models through previous projects in pharmaceutical industry roles or equivalent.
  • Experience working with common tools for quantitative clinical pharmacology such as NONMEM, R, WINNONLIN, SIMCYP, SAS and MATLAB through previous hands-on projects.
  • Experience with regulatory submission documents such as CTAs, INDs, NDAs, MAAs and BLAs through direct involvement in regulatory submission activities in previous roles.
  • Experience through previous roles in applying appropriate FDA and ICH guidelines in the design of clinical development plans and studies.
Preferred Qualifications:

If you have the following characteristics, it would be a plus:

  • Demonstrated expertise in specific technical areas related to modelling and simulation, and/or the vaccines and infectious disease therapeutic area.
  • Knowledge of or ability to quickly learn the mechanism, endpoints, progression and treatments of diseases in infectious disease and other relevant therapy areas.
  • Ability to communicate clearly and succinctly with the audience in mind, both orally and in writing.
  • Ability to build effective collaboration while taking personal accountability for delivery of quantitative clinical pharmacology results.
  • Sound judgement, analytical mindset and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to effectively multi-task and deliver results on time.
