Director, Quantitative Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics – Immune/Oncology

We are seeking an experienced talented scientist to join the Quantitative Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics – Immune/Oncology (QP2-IO) team in the role of Director. QP2-IO team is part of the Global Clinical Development organization and has oversight over drug development aspects related to clinical pharmacology and pharmacometrics of oncology drugs from post-PCC to registration. Directors are leaders in the field of quantitative drug development, with a strong, integrated understanding of the strategic elements of drug development.

As a subject matter expert, the Director within the QP2-IO Group will work closely with teams of highly collaborative, cross-functional scientists to contribute to development of novel chemical entities. They develop strategies for quantitative analyses (and commensurate experiments/trials) within and across development programs and/or functions. Directors demonstrate outstanding leadership and communication skills. They collaborate within QP2-IO and with other functional areas, as well as with external vendors and partners, creating an aligned, quantitative framework to impact strategies and decisions of drug development teams.

• Serving as an expert representative for QP2
  -IO on Oncology development teams.
• Framing critical questions and strategy for optimizing model-based analyses on programs.
• Developing and executing model-based analyses including translational PK/PD approaches, population pharmacokinetic models, exposure-response models, clinical trial design simulation, disease progression models, quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) modeling, and comparator modeling.
• Strategizing and executing modeling of tumor size and survival.
• Maintaining a comprehensive understanding of global regulatory expectations for small molecules and biologics in Oncology, authoring regulatory documents (investigational new drugs/INDs, clinical study reports (CSRs), clinical trial applications (CTDs), and representing QP2-IO at regulatory meetings.
• Mentoring and/or supervising junior staff to perform the above duties and to develop the above capabilities.

• Ph.D. with at least seven years of pharmaceutical drug development experience relating to: PKPD, pharmacometrics, mathematics, statistics/ biostatistics, or chemical/biomedical engineering.
