leading the local group and will report to Peter Milligan, Global Head
of Pharmacometrics.
Requirements: A doctorate degree in pharmaceutical sciences, statistics,
medicine or related discipline. The ideal candidate should have an
extensive modelling and simulation skill set covering aspects of the
following: design and analysis of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic
studies, proficiency in application of nonlinear mixed effects models,
application of mechanistic PK\PD models, disease progression modelling
, meta-data models utilising internal and external sources, strong
statistical skills, clinical trial design using principles of optimal
design and trial simulation and understanding of Bayesian theory in
decision theory/ trial design . Candidates must also posses' very good
skills in the use of several specialized software such as NONMEM, SAS,
SPlus, Winbugs and/or TS2 as well as good written and oral communication
skills. Candidates for the Head role should have previous management
experience.
