Associate Director, In-Vivo Pharmacology

Role: Associate Director, In-Vivo Pharmacology, leading scientific and operational efforts in oncology radiopharmaceutical therapy programs. Objectives include designing and executing high-quality in-vivo studies to inform program strategy from discovery through IND-enabling stages. Responsibilities encompass setting study direction, collaborating across teams (dosimetry, radiochemistry, biology), and ensuring regulatory compliance (IACUC/AALAC). The role involves overseeing efficacy and biodistribution strategies specific to radiopharmaceuticals like Lu-177 and Ac-225, with emphasis on tumor models, dose rationale, and radiobiological considerations. Requirements include a Ph.D. in Pharmacology, Cancer Biology, Toxicology, or related field, with 8+ years industry experience in oncology pharmacology, xenograft efficacy, and preclinical development supporting IND filings. Preferred skills involve knowledge of radiopharmaceuticals, radiation biology, and computational data analysis. The position is highly cross-functional and operationally integrated, with a focus on scientific leadership rather than primary experimentation. The work is based in San Diego, CA, with a competitive salary and benefits, and may involve some collaboration with regulatory and operational teams to support Radiopharmaceutical Therapeutics in oncology.
