Associate Life Scientist and Senior Life Scientist, PhysioPD

Scientists work with Engineers in our PhysioPD practice to develop physiologically-based, dynamic mathematical models and conduct simulations of disease, drug action, and (pre)clinical studies.

Associate and Senior Life Scientists are responsible for:

• Data mining and interpretation to support the construction of mathematical models;
• Identifying and implementing realistic laboratory and clinical tests for validating models, and conducting simulations of disease, drug action, and preclinical and clinical studies;
• Defining key issues, presenting results, and developing associated regulatory reports;
• Leading projects, assisting with client relationship management, and participating in Rosa’s business management, depending on the candidate’s experience and professional goals.

The ideal Associate or Senior Life Scientist candidate will have:

• A post-graduate degree in clinical pharmacology, medicine, physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, or a related field, preferably with a focus on quantitative analysis;
• A minimum of two (2) years of relevant industry experience; for example, in pharmacology, physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, or physical chemistry;
• An understanding, and preferably some experience, with industry-standard dynamic modeling software such as J-Designer or Mathematica;
• Demonstrated ability to address complex drug development problems with an understanding of signaling pathways, homeostasis, physiological mechanisms, and explanatory factors;
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative Rosa-client project team.
