What You'll Be Doing
As a Scientist or Senior Scientist in Exploratory Biopharmaceutics, you’ll be working at the critical intersection of modelling, pharmacokinetics, and drug product strategy, helping determine whether a promising molecule can actually become a safe, effective therapy for patients.
Early‑stage development is where the big decisions get made. Your modelling and simulation work will directly shape how a molecule progresses through clinical stages, how it’s presented to regulators and ultimately, how it reaches patients.
This isn’t a support role, it’s a science leadership role.
Day‑to‑Day Responsibilities
* Build and refine pharmacokinetic models that identify the biopharmaceutics performance attributes that make or break a molecule’s clinical success, guiding critical go/no‑go decisions.
* Develop integrated biopharmaceutics modelling and simulation packages that underpin regulatory submissions and dossiers, serving as the scientific backbone of BMS communications with health authorities.
* Shape biopharmaceutics strategies for active clinical and non‑clinical studies, translating complex science into practical exposure targets that improve outcomes for real patients.
* Lead your own development projects with genuine autonomy; you set the direction rather than wait for it.
* Collaborate directly with Discovery, Clinical Pharmacology, Regulatory, and Toxicology teams, earning a seat at the table across the full drug‑development lifecycle.
* Work across therapeutic areas, gaining breadth of experience that accelerates your career in ways a narrower role simply couldn’t.
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for someone who is technically sharp, intellectually curious, and genuinely energized by the pace of early‑stage pharmaceutical development.
You’ll Be a Great Fit If You Have
* A PhD in a relevant discipline (Pharmaceutics, Pharmacokinetics, DMPK, or related field) combined with meaningful industry or research experience.
* Hands‑on modelling expertise—PBPK, popPK, PK‑PD, QSP—knowing how to make these tools tell a useful story.
* A solid grounding in ADME, PK, and drug‑substance/drug‑product manufacturing processes, enough to speak credibly across functions.
* A track record of publications and presentations that demonstrate engagement with the evolving field.
* Communication skills that translate complex science into clear, actionable insights for cross‑functional partners, from bench scientists to regulatory reviewers.
* An entrepreneurial mindset—comfortable with ambiguity, energized by change, and bringing solutions rather than problems.
What You’ll Get Out of It
Beyond the science itself, this role offers genuine career acceleration. The cross‑functional exposure and broad pipeline scope mean you’ll grow faster than in most comparable positions. You’ll build a professional network spanning discovery to commercialization, develop regulatory fluency, and work in a culture that values and expects new ideas.
Work Location and Hours
For this role, the occupancy type may be site‑by‑design, with eligibility for a hybrid work model—at least 50% onsite.
