Clinical Pharmacologist - PK/PD Expert

Mercor; Toronto; On-site; CAD 83,000 - 165,000; Full time

Job summary

Mercor is seeking a clinical pharmacologist to own pharmacology workflows, including simulating PK/PD data, dosing regimens, and exposure–response analyses to ensure clinically plausible outputs you can defend under scrutiny.

The candidate should have 5+ years of relevant experience, with hands-on pre-market work (Phases 1–3) and the ability to author dose rationales, concentration sections, and interaction content, following a protocol and SAP.

Qualifications

• Location: US, Canada, or France.
• 5+ years of experience required; 10-25 years preferred.
• Education: PharmD, PhD in pharmacology/pharmacokinetics or related field, MD, or equivalent.
• Hourly availability: 20-25 hours/week minimum; 30+ hours preferred.
• Must have supported pre-market (Phases 1-3) programs as a clinical pharmacologist with hands-on PK/PD work, dose selection/escalation, and exposure–response analysis.

Responsibilities

• Clinical Data Generation: simulate pharmacology data for data rooms, including PK/PD, dosing regimens, exposure–response, and bioanalytical reports.
• Clinical pharmacology task authorship: draft dose rationale, concentration/response sections, drug–drug and drug–disease interactions, and design prompts, rubrics and gold standards.

Job description

As a clinical pharmacologist on this project, you would own a part in multiple workflows:

1. Clinical Data Generation: we need to simulate the pharmacology layer of each data room, including PK and PD datasets, dosing and escalation regimens, exposure-response relationships, and bioanalytical reports, so that dose rationale and concentration data are clinically plausible and reconcile against the efficacy and safety outputs.

2. Clinical pharmacology task authorship: you must be capable of authoring the dose selection rationale, drug concentration and response sections, and drug-drug and drug-disease interaction content, and designing prompts, golden outputs, and rubrics to quantify the ability of an AI agent attempting to do the same thing.

To be qualified for this role, you must fit the following requirements:

• Location: US, Canada, or France.

• YOE: 5+ required. 10-25 preferred.

• Education: PharmD, PhD in pharmacology, pharmacokinetics or a related field, MD, or equivalent.

• Hourly availability: 20-25 hours/week, minimum. 30+ preferred.

• Experience: MUST have supported pre-market (Phases 1-3) programs as a clinical pharmacologist, with hands‑on PK/PD work, dose selection and escalation, and exposure‑response analysis. First‑in‑human experience strongly preferred. Comfortable working from a protocol and SAP to produce pharmacology data that holds up under expert scrutiny.
