Clinical Pharmacology Quantitative Medicine (CPQM) is accountable for both applying clinical pharmacology strategies and the principles of quantitative medicine to enable efficient, end-to-end development of transformative medicines.

A key component of the CPQM mission is to harness the power of AI/ML & mechanistic modelling, to drive robust Development Strategies including Dose, Endpoint & Population Selection; Smart Clinical Trials and deliver Model Informed Drug Development (MIDD) evidence.

Hybrid AIML-Pharmacometrics/QSP methodologies are a set of emerging approaches that combine the power and flexibility of AI/ML with the credibility of mechanistic modelling. This fusion has the potential to greatly enhance the predictive capabilities of CPQM by enabling the integration of novel data types (e.g. imaging, biomarkers, OMICs, digital endpoints, and real-world data) to drive more predictive and impactful insights for decision-making.

The Manager / Associate Director, MIDD AI/ML Scientist will focus on the practical application of emerging AI/ML and hybrid AI/ML-Pharmacometrics methodologies to projects on an asset and disease level supporting a wide range of clinical development decisions across therapeutic areas. The role will consist of collaborating with Clinical Pharmacology leads and cross-functional teams to integrate diverse sets of biomedical data (e.g. clinical, imaging, biomarkers, OMICs, digital health, or real-world data) into hybrid AI/ML-Pharmacometrics approaches. It will consist of analysis planning, execution, interpretation and communication of results.

This position is an excellent entry point for quantitative scientists with a background in AI/ML (e.g. PhDs in AI/ML or related fields) looking to develop expertise at the AI/ML-pharmacometrics interface and apply those techniques to benefit patients at the frontier of medicine.

We create a place where people can grow, be their best, be safe, and feel welcome, valued and included. We offer a competitive salary, an annual bonus based on company performance, healthcare and wellbeing programmes, pension plan membership, and shares and savings programme.

We embrace modern work practises; our Performance with Choice programme offers a hybrid working model, empowering you to find the optimal balance between remote and in-office work.
