Detail information about job Postdoctoral Scientist Clinical Pharmacology Modelling & Simulation. Terms and conditions vacancy

  • Join a Pharmaceutical Research & Development team based in Sydney
  • Modelling & Simulation
  • Contribute perspectives to global drug development

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is one of the world’s leading research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare companies. We are a patient focused organisation with a mission to improve the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer. By placing a high value on strong ethics, people, accountability and innovation, GSK is an exceptional place to work. As an innovative company, we rely on experts within our teams who come from a wide range of backgrounds working together towards our mission to help people feel better, do more and live longer.

A new role for a Postdoctoral Scientist is available in the Ethnopharmacology Group within GSK R&D. The role will explore ethnic variation in drug pharmacokinetics, initially on a 12-month contract. The Postdoctoral Scientist will utilise physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling to support assessments of potential ethnic sensitivity for new molecules in development at GSK. The Ethnopharmacology Group is a matrix team assessing the potential for ethnic differences in the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy and safety of drugs in development. Together with other members of the team, the Postdoctoral Scientist will build and utilise PBPK models, including the use of the SimCYP® Simulator, to explore the contribution of intrinsic and extrinsic factors to variation in pharmacokinetics across patient populations, contributing to model-informed drug-development strategies within GSK.

In addition to experience in modelling & simulation, an understanding of clinical pharmacology, pharmacogenetics and/or drug metabolism will be an advantage. To build good working relationships with other GSK R&D functions world-wide, the successful applicant will be a team player who demonstrates personal initiative. Good written and oral communication skills, an understanding of the importance of scientific accuracy and rigor and the ability to critically evaluate the scientific literature are fundamental to this role. Knowledge of R/R Studio, in either academia or the pharmaceutical industry, would be an advantage.

  Responsibilities will include:

  • To develop, explore and utilise PBPK models to assess the potential ethnic sensitivity of new compounds and other relevant molecules, providing technical and scientific support in this field to the Ethnopharmacology Group.
  • To assist with the identification, procurement and collation of relevant data to assess the potential ethnic sensitivity of compounds using PBPK modelling and simulation. Further analysis of relevant data may also be required, as appropriate.
  • To prepare analysis plans and summary reports for the PBPK analyses performed to support the assessment of ethnic sensitivity.
  • To critically evaluate scientific literature in the fields of modelling & simulation and clinical pharmacology, with an emphasis on the potential impact of ethnic and geographic variability on drug response.
  • To deliver high quality and accurate work and can recognise and challenge inconsistencies in internal and external datasets.

     

In return, we can offer you a rewarding culture that values you, focuses on your career progression, and makes you an integral part of our success. To become part of our team please apply online now. Successful applicants will be notified of next steps.

At GSK we value diversity and treat all candidates equally. We aim to create an inclusive workplace where all employees feel engaged, supportive of one another, and know their work makes an important contribution.

This postdoctoral position will be for 12 months in the first instance. For further information please contact Annette Gross (Senior Director, Clinical Pharmacology) [email protected].
