Senior Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Investigator/Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Investigator, Bristol Myers Squibb

Bristol Myers Squibb is seeking a highly motivated scientist to join our Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) team in the Immunology disease area. As a Senior Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Investigator or Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Investigator, you will play a critical role in developing and applying QSP models to address drug-discovery and development questions.

• Develop and apply QSP models to address drug-discovery and development questions.
• Function as part of a team to develop and rigorously assess the functionality, feasibility, efficiency, and validity of new models.
• Conduct extensive literature reviews to identify suitable mechanistic elements, interactions, rate constants, and sub-modules for incorporation into systems (disease) models.
• Provide leadership to and collaborate with multidisciplinary project teams to develop and apply QSP models to aid in target prioritization, therapeutic modality selection, biomarker characterization, and early clinical trial design.
• Partner with external groups to accelerate the internal Systems Pharmacology efforts in key disease areas.
• Contribute to the design, execution, and interpretation of clinical studies.
• Maintain an active relationship with colleagues in Clinical Pharmacology & Pharmacometrics as well as in the advancement of Pharmacometrics.
• Network with stakeholders in Discovery Biology, Clinical Development, and Translational Medicine to facilitate model development and application.
• Align QSP model deliverables with the clinical pharmacology and clinical development plans.
• Coordinate with the QSP&PBPK methods lead on methodologies for virtual population workflows and script-based analysis packages and customize as needed.
• 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.

• Ph.D. in Engineering, Mathematics, Bioinformatics, Pharmacometrics, Systems Biology/Pharmacology, or a related field.
• 2+ years of mathematical modeling & computer simulation experience in the pharmaceutical industry for the Senior Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Investigator level. No additional industry experience is needed for the Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Investigator level.

• Excellent oral and written communication skills and the ability to interact effectively with scientists in other disciplines with a positive, collegial, and collaborative attitude.
• Excellent understanding of theory, principles, and statistical aspects of advanced mathematical modeling and simulation, including numerical methods, parameter estimation/optimization, ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and how these can be applied in the development of complex models of biological pathways/systems.
• Good understanding of the basic principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
• Ability to learn new areas of biological sciences and build on a solid foundation of quantitative skills to develop QSP models.
• 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 is required.
• Experience with general programming and data analysis tools/languages such as Python, R, Spotfire would be particularly desirable.
• Desire to interact as a modeling and simulation expert across clinical development teams with experts from different functional areas (pre-clinical and clinical).
• Familiarity with the challenges and general application of mathematical modeling/simulation in pharmaceutical R&D.
