A full-time, paid internship in Pharmacometrics or Quantitative Systems
Pharmacology is available at Astellas in the summer of 2022 for approximately
12 weeks. The intern will work closely with a senior-level pharmacometrician on
topics related to mechanistic modeling or pharmacometrics, depending on the
interests of the intern. The project will be a hands-on learning experience
involving literature review, model building, and presentation to clinical
pharmacology staff. The model building tasks will involve use of R, NONMEM,
and/or Matlab software. It is anticipated that the position will be remote.
Applicants must have completed at least 2 years of graduate-level course work
and be working on their dissertation toward a PhD in pharmacometrics,
biomedical engineering, or similar quantitative field. In addition, applicants
should have a working knowledge of R, NONMEM, or Matlab and good communication
skills. The applicant must be currently living in and legally authorized to
work in the United States. Please send your CV and personal statement of
interest to Peter Bonate (email:
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>).
This is what our last summer student, Siddhee Sahasrabudhe, had to say about
her experience: "It was a great summer for me interning at Astellas. I was
given a very interesting simulation project that challenged me to learn more,
to apply what I knew and to revise the course. Pete has been a great mentor, he
helped me through tough bits in my project and above all, I never felt alone
even though I was interning remotely. Pete provided ample opportunity for me to
meet with people within the CPED team, also in cross-functional teams, to know
about their work, career paths and to seek valuable career advice. I am
grateful for the internship opportunity, training, experience, and the
connections that I made at Astellas. "
Come have a fun summer at Astellas and really expand your skill set!

The other day my daughter and I were talking. She was telling how she listens
to a lot of podcasts. I told her that in my day we used to have podcasts, only
we called it radio.
