The Clinical Pharmacology Scientist role requires a doctorate-level education (Ph.D., Pharm.D., or M.D.) in Pharmacology, Clinical Pharmacology, or a related field, combined with at least five years of senior-level experience in clinical pharmacology within the pharmaceutical or biotech industry. The candidate must demonstrate expertise in designing and implementing clinical pharmacology plans across early and late drug development stages, specifically for neuromuscular disease drug candidates. Key competencies include leadership in clinical pharmacology study design such as human mass balance, drug-drug interaction, and renal/hepatic impairment studies. Proficiency in pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) data analysis and interpretation is essential to support dose selection and development strategies. The role demands hands-on experience with PK/PD modeling tools, including population PK/PD modeling and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling for special populations. Strong skills in preparing clinical pharmacology sections for regulatory submissions (IND, NDA, MAA) and responding to health authority queries are critical, along with participation in regulatory meetings. The candidate must stay current with global regulatory guidelines and ensure compliance with industry best practices. Excellent communication, collaboration, and a proactive, problem-solving mindset are vital for effective cross-functional teamwork in a dynamic biotech environment. This position offers flexible work options and the opportunity to contribute directly to innovative therapies improving muscle function and patient quality of life.
