CPT:PSP, the second journal in a family of journals sponsored by ASCPT, capitalizes on and extends the strengths of the parent journal, Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CPT), which emphasizes the clinical aspects of the pharmacological sciences including clinical trials, and drug disposition, response and safety. ASCPT has created a Steering and Editor Search Committee to review applications, which will be due by January 31, 2012. Interviews will be held in late February 2012, and shortly thereafter, the successful candidate will embark on developing the editorial team, refining the Aims and Scope of CPT:PSP and creating the prototype table of contents for the new journal, in collaboration with the Society and the Publisher. The Editor will work with the Society and the Publisher on strategic planning for CPT:PSP, and will be responsible for the editorial content of the journal, including subject matter, types of articles and actual content of articles that are published in the journal. He or she will contribute to the peer-review of submitted and commissioned content and will act as an ambassador for the new journal by reaching out to potential authors and reviewers and by promoting submission of relevant papers. In addition, the Editor will collaborate effectively with the editorial leadership of Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics. The broad scope of the new journal will include coverage of pharmacometrics, modeling and simulation as applied to the design and evaluation of clinical trials, systems pharmacology modeling, particularly with a mechanistic link to human physiology, disease modeling, "population" or mixed-effects pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics modeling, model-based meta-analyses of clinical trials, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling, computational pharmacology, model-based comparative efficacy, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. The successful candidate will be a well-published scientist with considerable relevant research experience. An earned doctorate degree is required. The successful candidate must have intellectual vision, bold scientific judgment, and be recognized as a leader in the discipline. CPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology will be a collaborative endeavor that will provide a unique international forum for scientists in the pharmacometrics and systems pharmacology space. Applications Applicants should provide a statement of why they are interested in this position, along with three letters of recommendation from knowledgeable colleagues, a current CV, including evidence of fulfillment of the following criteria: 1. Academic and Publishing records Evidence of strong academic achievement and a robust list of publications in relevant fields. 2.
