Senior Research Investigator/Research Investigator, QSP&PBPK MethodsLocation:
Princeton, NJ OR Brisbane, CA, OR Cambridge, MAQuantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) & Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetics (PBPK) have become an important component of discovery and clinical development.
Mechanistic model and data characterization, calibration, and validation are critical aspects of QSP&PBPK modeling approaches needed during model development and application to establish confidence in models, confidence in their predictions, and leverage data to guide modeling efforts in innovative ways.
Our QSP&PBPK team has established expertise, impact, and tools to develop, calibrate, and apply QSP and PBPK models.
We are searching for a scientist with expertise in model calibration algorithms and pipelines.
Expertise with virtual population approaches is highly desired but advanced mathematical or statistical training and experience developing customized Bayesian algorithms would be a reasonable background.
This scientist will bring expertise in calibrating the population variability in mechanistic models and experience leading scripted toolbox development.
Responsibilities:
Provide leadership for existing model calibration and computing capabilities and future model, technology, and algorithm innovation and developmentAdvance novel and rigorous methodologies for model variability calibration, sensitivity analysis, and prediction uncertainty characterizationAdvance existing and lead development of new tools that can be deployed using parallel resources on compute clusters with thousands of workers to accelerate characterization and calibration of ordinary differential equation models with substantial compute times in high dimensional spacesAssist therapeutic area expert modelers to accelerate efforts and ensure timely model development and calibration to impact drug development programs and coordinate technology developmentMaintain, advance, and coordinate codebases and documentation for data integration and analysis as well as model simulation, characterization, and calibrationServe as a primary liaison with company Information Technology and coordinate QSP&PBPK group technology strategyPartner with external groups to accelerate the internal efforts in key technology areasContribute to the standards of practice within the departmentWith some supervision, network with stakeholders other functions to facilitate methods, data, and model development and applicationServe as a subject matter expert to both internal colleagues and the external scientific communityStay informed with emerging literature and science in the modeling and simulation sciencesBuild and maintain a personal track record of publication in the area of QSP & PBPK MethodsMaintain an active relationship with colleagues in Clinical Pharmacology & Pharmacometrics at the project level as well as in the advancement of PharmacometricsPosition requirements:
