Recursion is a clinical-stage biotechnology company decoding biology by integrating technological innovations across biology, chemistry, automation, data science and engineering to radically improve the lives of patients and industrialize drug discovery. Our team is working to solve some of the hardest, most meaningful problems facing human health today. Come join us in our mission to decode biology to radically improve lives, while doing the most impactful work of your life.

The Impact You’ll Make

• Develop clinical pharmacology strategies to accelerate drug development. You’ll be the clinical pharmacology lead for various programs in development, responsible for regulatory interactions and innovative strategies to get therapies to patients faster.
• Design clinical studies. You’ll provide clinical pharmacology input on all clinical study designs, from Phase 1-3 and dedicated Phase 1 clinical pharmacology/Translational Medicine studies.
• Interface with cross-functional teams. You’ll work closely with clinical study teams, translational teams (DMPK, Translational Modeling and Toxicology), and due diligence teams to ensure clinical pharmacology-related considerations are addressed.
• Solve problems creatively with incorporating translational and experimental medicine techniques as well as with modeling and simulation tools. You’ll contribute to solving complex drug development questions by overseeing and/or performing modeling and simulation with various tools to expedite decision making.

The Team You’ll Join 

The emergence of radical technological innovations has created the opportunity to envision new approaches to discovering therapeutics more efficiently and at scale. Recursion is pioneering the integration of these technological innovations across biology, chemistry, automation, data science, and engineering to modernize drug discovery and development.

You will be joining a dynamic and rapidly growing Clinical Development team at Recursion in Salt Lake City, UT.. As an experienced drug developer, you will play a key role in the shaping of the future of drug development here at Recursion.

The Experience You’ll Need

• Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pharmacokinetics or related discipline, M.D with a Clinical Pharmacology fellowship, or a Pharm D. with a Clinical Pharmacology fellowship, with 6-9+ years of experience in biotech/pharmaceutical drug development.
• Demonstrated success leading all clinical pharmacology related aspects of drug development. Must be a strong communicator with a passion for mentorship and communicating complex ideas to broad audiences.
• Ability to work closely with internal and external stakeholders to manage PK, PK-PD, and PK-safety analyses, including non-compartmental analysis, population PK modeling, and PK-PD modeling and simulations to support dose selection, exposure-response and exposure-safety analyses through various phases of drug development.
• Proficiency with WinNonlin or other modeling software.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including clinical and non-clinical leads, statisticians and clinical operations to design, conduct and report clinical pharmacology results from studies.
• Demonstrated experience responding to regulatory agency questions, preparing clinical pharmacology aspects of regulatory submissions and attending regulatory meetings.
• Ability to work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional, fast-paced working environment where bold thinking in the service of the Recursion’s mission (to radically overhaul drug development to bring therapies to patients faster) is encouraged.
• Experience in oncology and neuroscience therapeutic areas preferred, but not required.
