The Translational Disease Modeling (TDM) group is seeking to hire a highly talented Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) modeling scientist to support its R&D portfolio.
Modeling efforts represent key biological processes of the pathophysiology and a drug’s mechanism of action to enhance the understanding of disease and therapeutic response.
QSP-model based simulations allow prediction of drug efficacy in virtual patients.
The successful candidate will be working within a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment to provide support for strategy and decision making in drug research and development.
The position is based in Cambridge, MA.
TASKS:
Design, build, and apply QSP modeling approaches to support decision making
Interface with project team to identify opportunities, and to develop and implement innovative mechanistic modeling strategies
Communicate modeling predictions to key stakeholders
Collaborate with internal and external partners (CROs, consultants and academic collaborators) to support internal QSP efforts
Identify and interpret preclinical and clinical data critical for model development and refinement
Maintain state-of-the art knowledge of relevant modeling approaches and techniques
Contribute to abstracts and manuscripts
REQUIREMENTS:
Ph.D. (in Biomedical Engineering, Applied mathematics, Systems Biology/Pharmacology or related field) and 5+ years of mathematical modeling & simulation experience within the pharmaceutical industry
Track record of productivity, with evidence of independence in leading scientific projects
Hands-on experience with programming languages like Matlab/R/Julia (Matlab preferred)
Experience in differential equation- based models and parameter optimization approaches
Understanding of theory, principles and statistical aspects of mathematical modeling and simulation
Good understanding of cell biology and physiology, as well as the basic principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Strong project management skills including organization, time management and follow-up
