Intern/Co-Op Summer 2024: Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics (CPP)

Key Skills

Agile methodologies, Biostatistics, Design, Machine learning techniques, Neuroscience, Oncology, R-Shiny

Job Description

CPP Summer Internships are available for PharmD and graduate students majoring in science related disciplines such as Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Molecular or Computational biology, Biostatistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related discipline. Students will have the opportunity to work with clinical pharmacologists and pharmacometricians and learn about CPP, including pharmacokinetics (PK) / pharmacodynamics (PD), translational modeling and principles of model-based drug development in the pharmaceutical R&D setting. Our teams benefit from the student's academic training and in turn contribute to the further professional development of the student, providing exposure to drug development and a first-hand opportunity to evaluate the student's potential for future employment.

The CPP Summer Interns will be involved in various activities to support Research and Development in areas ranging from preclinical to early/late-stage clinical development, including:

• Clinical Pharmacology and Medical literature review

• Data analysis of PK, biomarker, preclinical and/or clinical data, trial design, etc.

• PK and PD model-building and analyses

• Development of computer programs or state-of-the-art quantitative methodologies (e.g., population PK/PD, quantitative systems pharmacology [QSP]) within the modeling and simulation framework

• Model based meta-analysis (MBMA), advanced data visualization (e.g., RShiny), and machine learning applications integrating publicly available and in-house data

• Diseases areas of immunology, oncology, neuroscience, pulmonary hypertension, or cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Candidates must be enrolled in an accredited college/university (not necessarily taking classes) and pursuing a major in a discipline related to the life sciences such as Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Molecular or Computational biology, Biophysics, Biostatistics, Mathematics, Engineering, and Medicine.

• Candidates must be available for at least 10-12 weeks from May - August and must have the ability to work full-time during that time.

• Demonstrated leadership is preferred.

• Candidates must be detail-oriented, highly organized, and able to manage multiple tasks.

• Candidates must have the ability to work individually (independently) as well as on a team.

• Candidate must be eligible to work in the US (or EU as applicable) at the time of, and for the duration of their employment and will be required to furnish evidence of work authorization.

Remote work flexibility is available. Reimbursement for travel relocation (housing stipend) will be available.
