Job Description
About the Role:
This application is for a 6-month student role from July - December 2026. Resume review begins in January 2026.
Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics (CPP) plays a central role in determining the right dose of the right molecule for the right patient by applying pharmacology principles, quantitative modeling, and simulations. CPP contributes across the entire drugdevelopment continuum-from preR2D through regulatory submission, approval, and lifecycle management. The function generates quantitative insight into what the body does to the drug (pharmacokinetics) and what the drug does to the body (pharmacodynamics), enabling prediction of benefit-risk, accelerating development, and informing regulatory strategy. CPP ultimately contributes to 25-40% of final druglabel content.
This CoOp role will support Clinical Pharmacology strategy in a specific disease area by researching the competitive landscape, focusing on PK/PD relationship, and generating quantitative metrics to inform internal development. The role provides handson exposure to industry drug development and clinical pharmacology strategy-setting.
