Job Details

job summary:
Seeking a highly technical, PhD-level Pharmacometrics Intern to support the Clinical Pharmacology team through hands-on model development, simulation, and automation. This is a deliverables-driven internship, not an observationalor coursework-based role.

The Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics Intern (CPPI) will perform research two areas: 1) Develop a Physiologically based Pharmacokinetics (PBPK) model to predict clinical cardiac safety ; 2) Develop a prototype of open-source-compatible noncompartmental analysis (NCA) automation toolkit.

The CPPI will work closely with experienced clinical pharmacologists and pharmacometricians during the conceptualization, design, implementation, and presentation stages. A poster presentation and/or a manuscript will also be prepared at the conclusion of the first project (i.e., PBPK model development). The core duties and responsibilities of the CPPI are delineated below.

3-Month Contract | Remote | $40/hr (Non-Negotiable)

Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm or 9am-5pm (to be discussed)

location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
job type: Contract
work hours: 9 to 5
education: Doctorate

responsibilities:

• The primary goal of the first project for the CPPI is to develop and validate a PBPK model to inform the potential cardiac exposure and safety
• The primary goal of the second project for the CPPI is to develop and validate an automated NCA platform that would enhance efficiency and reliability in NCA analysis for clinical pharmacology studies.

qualifications:
