Clin Pharm Director

The Director level clinical pharmacologist/pharmacokineticist in the Department of Translational Medicine and Early Stage Clinical Development plays a central role in both clinical development and in support of nonclinical development. He/she will represent Clinical Pharmacology function and provide subject matter expertise on cross-functional project teams. He/she will mentor junior and senior level scientists in the department in addition to being an individual contributor. A core scientific responsibility is ensuring optimal doses and dosage regimens in patients, and as such, the successful candidate must be able to integrate the knowledge of PK/PD, quantitative modeling and simulation, drug development, TK, and nonclinical PK (ADME and DMPK). Working within the clinical development organization, the Director role supports multiple programs through participation on internal project teams and serves as a liaison between chemistry, life sciences, regulatory and clinical operations. Essential Areas of Responsibility: The incumbent may design, conduct and/or manage internal and external IND-enabling studies (eg: in vitro and in vivo nonclinical metabolism and PK), design and review clinical pharmacology study protocols and support clinical trials, conduct pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling and analyses, and incorporate findings into study report and regulatory documents as well as participate directly in regulatory interactions. A strong background in clinical pharmacology and pharmacokinetics combined with excellent leadership and communications skills are essential in this dynamic role. Clinical pharmacology experience with both small and large molecules in a variety of clinical investigation paradigms (eg: adaptive trial design) is desired. Direct experience with pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling, bioanalytical analysis, and nonclinical ADME are desirable attributes. Knowledge of, and immediate experience in the area of CNS and/or oncology therapeutics is desired. The candidate is expected to be an active contributor to the multi-disciplinary project teams, providing innovative and progressive thinking to projects and where appropriate guidance to other team members. Upon completion of on-boarding, this person will be relied upon to act independently, within a highly matrixed clinical development organization and must have the experience and conviction to provide sound clinical pharmacology related input to the project teams. Minimum Education & Experience Requirements: Ph.D. or Pharm D in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pharmacometrics, or related field with 10+ years of experience in pharmaceutical industry. Demonstrated experience in serving as clinical pharmacology lead on development programs. Experience in non-compartment and model-based PK and PK/PD analyses and inclusion of data in the preparation of manuscripts, study reports and sections of regulatory submission documents (eg: INDs, NDAs, CTDs) is required. Hands-on experience in utilizing WinNonLin, NONMEM and/or other modeling software is required. Experience with population PK, mechanistic PK-PD modeling/systems pharmacology and PBPK modeling is a plus. Familiarity with statistical approaches and programs for data analysis. Scientific writing and presentation skills are essential; peer reviewed publications in a relevant field required. Current knowledge of FDA regulatory guidance related to nonclinical and clinical pharmacology; experience having direct interaction with FDA, including submission of IND, NDA and other regulatory documents is required. Understanding of, and compliance with, regulatory, protocol, standard operating procedures, and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and Good Clinical Practices (GCP) as appropriate. Excellent interpersonal, leadership, communication and time-management skills are essential; demonstrated direct management of internal and external personnel (outsourced projects) is required.
