  • Author regulatory submissions and serve as a pharmacokinetics/clinical pharmacology subject matter expert during interactions with regulatory agencies.
  • Collaborate closely with research and development teams to define project objectives and design innovative and scientifically rigorous pharmacokinetic studies.
Requirements
  • PhD in Pharmacokinetics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pharmacology, or related field with at least 7-8 years of pharmacokinetics or PK/PD modeling experience within a pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or research setting.
  • Proven track record of designing, executing, and analyzing pharmacokinetic studies, integrating pharmacology and pharmacokinetics data to generate quantitative models.
  • Strong proficiency in pharmacokinetic software (e.g., WinNonlin, NONMEM) and relevant modeling tools.
  • Ability to adhere to tight timelines across multiple research projects and adapt to changing priorities.
