The ideal candidate will have research expertise in pharmacometrics, training and experience in PK/PD, population PK, PBPK, and/or quantitative systems pharmacology modeling, and a research focus in the areas of precision medicine, special populations, and/or drug safety. The central focus of DPET is the optimization of drug therapy through the discovery and evaluation of key factors that influence how therapeutic agents work in patients. Our faculty conduct collaborative, innovative, and clinically relevant research that aims to translate experimental and clinical pharmacology discoveries into precision medicine and apply these discoveries to improve patient care across several therapeutic areas. Our training programs develop scientists who excel at conducting innovative translational research that integrates biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences through use of laboratory-based and computational modeling approaches that leverage preclinical and clinical investigations. We are seeking a candidate who has already established or possesses the potential to establish a competitive and independent research program, and has a strong commitment to the application of pharmacometric modeling tools to address critical questions in pharmacotherapy and/or the pharmaceutical sciences.
