Senior Principal Scientist/Associate Director Clinical PBPK (Dual Level Posting)

#LI-Hybrid Internal Title: Senior Principal Scientist or Associate DirectorLocation: Basel, SwitzerlandThe Modeling & Simulation group within PK Sciences is looking for a Principal Scientist to Associate Director level modeler, to develop and apply translational physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling along with data analysis techniques to facilitate drug discovery, development, and translational research across disease areas. Importantly, the candidate has experience with regulatory submissions and in successful regulatory interactions. The candidate’s core responsibilities will include PBPK modeling to integrate in vitro and in vivo data for drug-drug interaction (DDI) assessments, impact of biopharmaceutics properties on absorption, and pharmacokinetic (PK) predictions in humans as well as in specific populations (e.g. disease, organ impairment, pediatrics). The ultimate goal of this work is to be on the forefront of applying PBPK models to inform the safe administration of our drug candidates in the clinic, to optimize clinical trial designs, and waive clinical trials, ultimately, to get our medicines to patients faster.The role requires a deep understanding of ADME/DMPK principles and biopharmaceutics knowledge, experience with industry standard PBPK modeling packages (such as GastroPlus or Simcyp) or bespoke PBPK models, regulatory submissions involving PBPK modeling, interdisciplinary thinking and great attention to detail. The applicant will work in a dynamic and multidisciplinary environment to build, verify and apply quality translational/biopharmaceutical PBPK models.
