Dear All: I'm writing to inform you that we continue to solicit CVs who are interested in pursuing entry-level and senior pharmacokineticist positions within the Department of Drug Metabolism at Merck Research Laboratories at our West Point, Pennsylvania location -- in fact, we are planning to expand our group substantially in 2009. Pharmacokineticists at Merck work in inter-disciplinary teams to design, conduct, and interpret the results of clinical drug trials, with a focus on obtaining and interpreting quantitative data on the time course of drug concentrations within the body and drug effects on the body. In addition, pharmacokineticists play a central role in PK/PD modeling and simulation, a key aspect of model-based drug development at Merck. Pharmacokineticists are expected to present their results at internal and external meetings and to write reports and other regulatory documents to support drug registration.
We are looking for bright individuals with an aptitude for both experimental design/interpretation and quantitative analysis, particularly mathematical modeling. Experience in the area of PK/PD and/or population analyses is highly desirable but not essential. In addition, experience in PK/PD analysis of biologic therapeutics is a plus. I would appreciate it if you would pass this information along to anyone whom you think may be interested. We are looking for individuals who are available immediately or any time in 2009. Interested individuals can apply online using the following information: www.merck.com/careers ; Requisition # 000788 Please apply online directly and don't reply to this email since CVs will be collected online only.
