Senior Principal Pharmacometrician

Role Summary

We are 60 quantitative scientists supporting more than 80 clinical development projects in 10 therapeutic areas every day. As a Senior Principal Pharmacometrics, you will be responsible for the discussion and implementation of pharmacometrics methodologies as well as providing pharmacometrics support for regulatory submissions and integrated evidence generation contributing to drug development decisions with internal and external partners.

Responsibilities

• Provide global strategic pharmacometrics leadership and support to clinical development programs of low to mid complexity, based on relevant technical and disease area knowledge
• Contextualizing the modeling question with the relevance to drug and disease biology
• Developing an understanding of drug development applied to scoping relevant questions for Pharmacometrics analysis
• Communication of modeling to project teams in multiple settings such as decision board meetings, small sub-teams, etc.
• Drive the pharmacometrics contributions to regulatory/submission strategy and related documents (e.g. briefing books, summaries of clinical pharmacology/efficacy/safety, responses to Health Authority questions) with oversights
• Assess pharmacometrics requirements insuring the integration of pharmacometrics information into transition of drug development milestones / decision boards
• Contribute to Integrated Evidence generation by leveraging disease progression and Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic modeling techniques using varied data sources, including Real World Data
