What you will do
Let's do this. Let's change the world. We are seeking a Senior Data Scientist with expertise in quantitative pharmacology, PBPK/PK/PD modeling, and translational simulation to support biologics discovery. In this vital role, you will develop and apply fit-for-purpose mechanistic modeling and simulation approaches that help discovery teams interpret complex biological and pharmacology information, generate testable hypotheses, and make data-driven decisions. You will work with appropriate scientific data in secure, governed environments while ensuring modeling assumptions, documentation, and outputs are reproducible and decision-ready.
The successful candidate will work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, partnering with scientists, data scientists, translational modelers, pharmacology experts, and discovery teams to design modeling strategies, evaluate uncertainty, and translate quantitative insight into actionable recommendations.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and apply PBPK, TMDD, PK/PD, exposure-response, and related quantitative models for biologics discovery and translational questions
- Translate complex scientific information into quantitative assumptions, scenarios, and simulations that support model-informed decision-making
- Build reproducible workflows for parameter estimation, model calibration, sensitivity and uncertainty analysis, documentation, and review
- Apply statistical, machine learning, or Bayesian methods where appropriate to support parameter inference, model updating, and scenario analysis
- Partner with experimental and translational teams to align modeling plans, interpret results, and identify fit-for-purpose data needs
- Communicate modeling assumptions, limitations, uncertainty, findings, and recommendations clearly through reports, visualizations, and presentations
- Contribute to scalable model-informed drug design practices and reusable modeling frameworks that can support biologics discovery programs
