(Senior) Scientist, Advanced MIDD & Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (m/w/d)
Contract work: Temporary employment
Duration: approx. 2 years (initially 18 months)
Location: Hybrid, 2-3 days on-site Mannheim/FFM and 2-3 days remote
Start: End of March/beginning of April
Salary: approx. €150,000 to €180,000 gross per year
Pharmacometrics is concerned with the mathematical and statistical analyses and modeling of biological, pharmacological, and physiological data and processes. It quantifies the various aspects of the (desired and undesired) effects of drugs in the context of disease. The models are based on clinical data, and provide a basis for informing efficient drug development, regulatory decisions, and optimal treatment of patients.
Purpose:
We are building comprehensive Model-Informed Drug Development (MIDD) capabilities in-house to create reusable platform models across our oncology portfolio. We seek a talented and motivated expert to develop advanced Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) models in oncology that enable Virtual Population simulations. You will act as a MIDD expert for oncology and integrate this knowledge into Clinical Pharmacology strategy for related development programs.
This means:
* Develop QSP platform models for multiple oncology mechanisms including:
o Immune checkpoint inhibitors (IO/ICI) across colorectal, lung, and ovarian cancers
o Antibody-drug conjugates across lung, ovarian, and colorectal cancers
o T-cell engagers and bispecifics/trispecifics in multiple myeloma
o CAR-T therapies in hematologic malignancies
* Create and optimize Virtual Populations to capture patient heterogeneity and support clinical trial design
* Implement new methods to enhance QSP-driven MIDD, including AI/machine learning augmentation for literature screening, model drafting, and virtual population optimization
* Deliver practical results that inform dose and regimen selection, optimal combinations, therapy duration, and study design for active development programs
* Work as part of a coordinated team under the oversight of a senior pharmacometrician within the PMx Oncology Group
Your Profile:
* PhD or Master's degree with extensive experience in Quantitative Systems Pharmacology or Systems Biology model development
* Proven scientific track record and practical experience in several of the following areas
o Statistical modeling
+ Modeling with differential equations
+ Scripting languages (R, Matlab, Python)
+ Drug development
* Critical thinking and self-reflective
* Persistent and resilient
* Ability to connect unrelated concept and to generate original or unique ideas
* very deep knowledge in the operational construction of the models
* Experience with QSP models
* Fluency in English required, German would be a plus
* very good communication skills
