Bristol Myers Squibb is seeking a highly motivated Scientist to join the In Vivo Pharmacology group supporting Oncology and Immunology discovery programs. The successful candidate will play a key role in the design, execution, analysis, and interpretation of preclinical in vivo studies to evaluate novel therapeutic candidates. This position requires a strong scientific background in pharmacology, immunology, and/or oncology, as well as the ability to independently drive experimental strategies and collaborate within multidisciplinary discovery teams to advance programs from target validation through candidate selection.

In the role as a Scientist within In Vivo Pharmacology, the ideal candidate will:

• Design and interpret in vivo studies in murine models of cancer and immune-mediated diseases.

• Perform and oversee in vivo studies, including compound administration, disease induction, tumor implantation, immune cell transfers, longitudinal sampling, and animal monitoring.

• Develop experimental strategies to evaluate pharmacodynamic, efficacy, mechanism-of-action, and combination therapy hypotheses.

• Independently operate and apply imaging technologies, including IVIS, to support efficacy and mechanistic studies.

• Troubleshoot technical and scientific challenges and develop solutions to improve study outcomes.

• Contribute to the optimization and development of novel in vivo models and experimental workflows.

• Analyze and interpret complex datasets using Graph Pad Prism, Excel, and other data analysis tools.

• Integrate in vivo, pharmacodynamic, biomarker, and mechanistic data to generate actionable scientific insights.

• Maintain accurate and timely electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) documentation.

• Prepare and present study results, scientific reports, and project updates to cross-functional teams and leadership.

• Contribute to scientific publications, technical reports, presentations, and regulatory documentation as appropriate.

• Serve as an in vivo pharmacology representative on Oncology and Immunology project teams.

• Partner with external collaborators and contract research organizations (CROs) to support study execution and data interpretation.

• Contribute scientific insights to project strategy, portfolio discussions, and candidate advancement decisions.

• Ensure compliance with BMS policies, IACUC regulations, and animal welfare standards.

• Maintain lab supplies, equipment, and study materials.

• Participate in continuous improvement of in vivo models and workflows.

• Bachelor’s Degree

Or

• Master’s Degree

Or

• Ph.D. or equivalent advanced degree in the Life Sciences

• PhD in Pharmacology, Immunology, Oncology, Cell Biology, or a related life science discipline; or

• MS with 3+ years, or BS with 5+ years of relevant industry experience in in vivo pharmacology.

• Strong scientific expertise in preclinical in vivo pharmacology required.

• Demonstrated experience designing, executing, and interpreting studies in oncology and/or immunology disease models required.

• Hands-on experience with rodent handling, dosing techniques, and biological sample collection…
