Overview

About Certara

Certara accelerates medicines using proprietary biosimulation software, technology and services to transform traditional drug discovery and development. Its clients include more than 2,000 biopharmaceutical companies, academic institutions and regulatory agencies across 62 countries.

Certara provides high-quality, regulatory-compliant pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) analyses and modeling for regulatory submission packages. With the largest global team of PhD, PharmD and MD consultants, we leverage quantitative methods to build a comprehensive knowledge-base of drug discovery, pre-clinical, early-phase clinical, literature, and competitor data, which can be used to optimize decisions, including the “go/no go” that will lead to commercial activities.

Our Pharmacometric Team is responsible for supporting quantitative decision-making in drug development through the development and application of population PK, PK/PD, exposure-response and other models. Qualified candidates will have the ability to work on a variety of therapeutic indications and data types and must be experts in applied Population PK, PK/PD, and/or exposure- response modelling and simulation to support drug development.

Our pharmacometricians support:

• Pre-clinical and clinical study analysis for new drug approvals
• Line extensions
• In-licensing options
• Product portfolio decisions

We are accepting applications for a Sr. Director of Pharmacometrics for our leadership team that want to develop their consulting career path by recognizing and seeking opportunities that match their ambition and personal interests. A career with our team will:

• Deepen your strategic drug development expertise and your experience informing drug development decisions.
• Hone your pharmacometric techniques with fit-for-purpose modelling approaches leveraginge.g. model-based meta-analysis, target-mediated drug disposition models, and E-R trial- simulations.
• Broaden your drug development expertise by working with a myriad of companies, molecularmodalities, and therapeutic areas.
