Pharmacometrics Leadership opportunity
Pharmacometrics Lead
This role will combine strong pharmacometric skills with a deep biological
understanding. They are responsible for independently determining, planning,
and executing M&S analyses for an entire drug development program in close
collaboration with cross-functional colleagues within the R&D organization.
Specific experience and interest in working in population PK/PD or quantitative
systems pharmacology is required. This role determines, plans, and executes
technically challenging analyses by using state of the art Modeling &
Simulation methodologies to strongly contribute to critical decision making.
This role will lead M&S projects for an entire drug development program to
evaluate study design, dose selection, probability of success estimation,
portfolio strategy, pediatric extrapolation etc. In this role, it is expected
that they will represent M&S with cross-functional drug development teams,
proactively advocate for model-based approaches, and clearly communicate M&S
results.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Independently determines, plans, executes, and interprets modeling analyses for
an entire drug development program aligned with the program strategy
Closely collaborates with the Modeling & Simulations senior director
Represents M&S on cross-functional drug development teams, proactively
advocating model-based approaches to address development challenges
By using state of the art Modeling & Simulation methodologies strongly
contribute to decision making at critical milestones based on quantitative
principles in close collaboration with Biostats, Clin Pharm and other
quantitative disciplines
Represents M&S in preparation for regulatory responses and external regulatory
interactions
Represents the department in company-wide, non-scientific initiatives
Proactively incorporates and develops approaches and methodologies based on
review of relevant scientific literature
Supervise and mentor junior scientists
Perform population PK, PKPD-analyses, Clinical trial simulations and other
model based analyses on a regular basis
Coordinate outsourced Modeling & Simulation activities when appropriate
Strengthen our internal Modeling & Simulation capability on a continuous basis
by initiating training activities, evaluating and incorporating new M&S tools
as appropriate.
Demonstrate effective communication and leadership to a broad audience with
diverse backgrounds, including senior management
PREFERRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
PhD in Pharmaceutics, Clinical pharmacology, or other quantitative discipline
with an emphasis Pharmacometric methodologies
Industry experience in the application of Pharmacometrics within the context of
drug development is required.
Expert hands-on skills from population-based PKPD modeling, Clinical trial
simulation and optimal design, probability of success calculations, Disease
progression modeling, Meta analyses etc.
A solid understanding of fundamental pharmacokinetic and quantitative
pharmacology (PKPD) principles.
Excellent programming skills (NonMem, R, Phoenix, SAS and other similar tools)
Demonstrated strong leadership- and influencing skills
Excellent collaborative, verbal and written communication skills
Experience from Regulatory interactions and guidelines relevant for M&S
