Senior Scientist Pharmacokinetics (m/w/d)

As a Senior Scientist Pharmacokinetics, you will play a key role in advancing innovative animal health solutions from early research into development. Within a globally connected environment, you will leverage your scientific expertise to enable data-driven decisions and shape sustainable therapeutic strategies. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will transform complex pharmacokinetic insights into impactful development plans.

Tasks & Responsibilities

• Represent pharmacokinetics in global, cross-functional R&D teams from early discovery through candidate selection and development across animal health modalities.
• Translate PK, PK/PD, and DMPK data, generating integrated insights that shape target and product profiles and guide program direction in veterinary drug development.
• Design, oversee, and interpret PK and PK/PD studies, ensuring alignment with regulatory expectations, animal welfare principles, and high scientific and quality standards.
• Apply innovative PK analysis and PK/PD modeling to support candidate optimization, inform key milestone decisions, and strengthen global development strategies.
• Contribute to regulatory submissions and authority interactions, providing robust scientific and technical input to ensure a strong PK/PD rationale across development programs.

Requirements

• PhD in Life Sciences (e.g., Pharmacy, Biology, Veterinary Medicine or related field) with several years of relevant industry experience in drug discovery and/or development (Animal Health experience is an advantage).
• Strong expertise in pharmacokinetics and assessment of exposure–response relationships, with experience across different therapeutic modalities.
• Proven experience in design, oversight, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of in vivo PK and PK/PD studies.
• Proficiency in using pharmacokinetic modelling and simulation tools (Phoenix, R, PK‑Sim, GastroPlus).
• Solid understanding of regulatory expectations, study design principles, scientific best practices, and GLP.
• Experience in risk assessment and mitigation, with the ability to translate scientific data into development strategies and decisions.
• Strong project team collaboration skills and ability to contribute effectively in cross-functional and global environments.
• Excellent communication and scientific presentation skills in English; German is an advantage.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, demonstrating strong planning, organizational, and problem‑solving skills.
