Associate Principal Scientist, Clinical Research

Job Description

The 2-year Physician Scientist Program provides pharmaceutical medicine training and opportunities to physicians completing residency or fellowship with the goal of recruiting new talent and contributing to the organization’s inclusion objectives. The program provides in-depth exposure to clinical drug development with emphasis on key elements of clinical trial planning, execution, data analysis and reporting of clinical trial results. Physician Scientists will develop skills working with clinical and cross‑functional teams as clinical programs progress toward regulatory approvals.

• Global Clinical Development: Understand the role and methods of pharmaceutical research, participate in the writing of research protocols, conduct of clinical trials, safety monitoring, analysis of data and communication of study findings;
• Global Regulatory Affairs and Clinical Safety: Focus on late‑stage and lifecycle drug activities, understand key regulatory policies and the procedures for interacting with health agencies (e.g., FDA); understand key elements in pharmacovigilance, drug safety monitoring, signal detection and processing of adverse reports;
• Global Medical/Scientific Affairs: Exposure to the management of a product asset prior to, during and after the launch phase (US and Global) including caveats on drug promotion.

After a successful first year, the Physician Scientist will be equipped to assume a leading role in the team with additional responsibilities and interactions. The Physician Scientist also has the opportunity to do a second 1‑year rotation in another area instead.
