Clinical Pharmacologist - PK/PD Expert

Mercor; New York (NY); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Part time

Job summary

Mercor is seeking a clinical pharmacologist to contribute to multiple workflows on a US-based project. You will model PK/PD datasets, dosing regimens, and exposure–response analyses to ensure clinically plausible data and reconcile with efficacy and safety outputs.

You will author dose rationale, concentration and response sections, and design prompts, rubrics, and SAP-based outputs to assess AI-generated pharmacology tasks.

Qualifications

• 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.

Responsibilities

• Own a part in multiple workflows: Clinical Data Generation with PK/PD datasets, dosing regimens, exposure data and reports; ensure data plausibility and reconciliation with efficacy and safety outputs.
• Clinical pharmacology task authorship: author dose rationale, concentration and response sections, and drug–drug and drug–disease interaction content; design prompts, golden outputs, and rubrics for AI evaluation.

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.
