Senior Expert Modeller

The Role

As a Senior Expert Modeller, you'll be at the heart of delivering cutting-edge quantitative solutions. You'll work collaboratively with our project leads, internal QM teams, and external clients to build and apply sophisticated models that drive drug discovery strategy.

• Developing and delivering technical models and solutions that address real-world drug discovery challenges
• Population PKPD modelling to predict drug behaviour across diverse patient populations
• Translational science bridging preclinical and clinical data
• Physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling for dose optimisation and prediction
• Systems pharmacology to understand complex drug–target interactions
• Collaborating with project leads and clients to define, scope, and execute quantitative analyses
• Contributing expert technical input across the QM portfolio
• Publication and presentation of scientific findings at conferences and in peer-reviewed journals

You’ll be trusted to work independently while thriving as part of a collaborative team, always ready to engage with colleagues and clients.

• 3–5 years of professional experience in PKPD and/or quantitative systems modelling within drug discovery or development teams, or a PhD in a related field
• Strong understanding of PKPD principles, pharmacology, and biology
• Proficiency with industry-standard modelling software: NONMEM, MATLAB/Sim Biology, or equivalent
• Statistical expertise with solid foundation in data analysis and interpretation
• PhD, PharmD, or equivalent postgraduate training in life sciences, mathematics, physics, engineering, or a related discipline
• Strong publication record in PKPD modelling and/or systems biology (peer-reviewed journals and/or conferences)
• Machine learning and advanced computational methods
• Exposure to multiple modelling platforms and programming languages
• Experience with Bayesian analysis and population modelling frameworks
• Familiarity with systems biology tools (pathway analysis, network pharmacology)
• Regulatory knowledge (e.g., EMA, FDA guidance on PKPD modelling)

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills – can translate complex science for diverse audiences
• Self-motivated and independent – comfortable owning technical deliverables
• Team player – collaborative, supportive, and engaged with colleagues
• Intellectually curious – passionate about quantitative science and continuous learning
• Organised and detail-oriented – skilled at managing multiple projects and deadlines
• Proficient with modern communications technology and comfortable in virtual/hybrid settings

• Flexible working:
  Virtual or Canterbury-based
• Autonomy & ownership of quantitative projects
• Collaborative environment with talented modellers
• Competitive salary & benefits
