Pfizer is a leader in model-based drug development, and we are expanding its influence in target validation and selection. We have an open position as Clinical Pharmacology Lead supporting our Research Unit in Cambridge, MA. The ideal candidate embraces model-based drug development - constructs, validates, and utilizes disease, placebo, exposure-response, and mechanistic PKPD models to evaluate risk/benefit and facilitate drug development decisions, in close collaboration with other R&D partners. Clinical Pharmacology Leads are also responsible for planning and direction of clinical pharmacology components of clinical programs (including clinical development plan/life cycle plan) and studies (including protocol preparation; clinical phase oversight, and reporting).

Act as Clinical Pharmacology representative on Clinical Sub Team and Development Team as appropriate.

• Participate in implementing model based drug development using quantitative approaches to address complex questions arising during drug development spanning from target validation to analysis and interpretation of Phase II results.
• Responsible for providing the clinical pharmacology components of Clinical Plans and

provides clinical pharmacology expertise to the project team including plan, design and oversee clinical pharmacology studies with operational assistance from operations colleagues

• Fully knowledgeable about the clinical pharmacology profile of allocated drugs on which studies are being conducted or which are called for in the protocol.
