• PhD in Quantitative Pharmacology, Pharmacometrics, Engineering, or a related field with 7+ years of industry experience; or MS with 10+ years of relevant experience.
• Demonstrated expertise in population PK/PD, exposureresponse, or mechanistic modeling (systems biology, or QSP) using tools such as NONMEM, Monolix, Simulx, MATLAB/Simbiology and R.
• Proven track record of delivering analyses supporting regulatory submissions and engaging directly with agencies (e.g., FDA, EMA, PMDA).
