The Co-op will support model-informed drug development by applying techniques in the field of quantitative clinical pharmacology and pharmacometrics. He/she will engage in exploratory and predictive data analytics including but not limited to creation of modeling datasets, data visualizations and model development, evaluation, and diagnostics of population pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) or exposure-response analysis. Opportunities to learn and develop across different modeling application/tools and statistical methodology (e.g. categorical vs continuous endpoints) will be encouraged.

Our summer/fall co-op program is from July 17-December 15, 2023. All applicants must be available for the entire duration of the program.

Heres What Youll Do:

• Support execution of quantitative clinical pharmacology and pharmacometrics strategy under the supervision of the clinical pharmacometrics project lead

• Perform advanced quantitative pharmacology and pharmacometrics analyses and activities within assigned program to yield high value PK/PD support for critical decisions including dose selection, trial design and sample/study optimization

• Interpret and present results and recommend appropriate actions

• Develop and maintain strong knowledge of clinical pharmacology principles, population analysis and PK/PD methodology including the fundamental stages of drug development

• Develop and maintain scientific awareness in the quantitative pharmacology and pharmacometrics discipline

Heres What Youll Bring to the Table (Preferred Qualifications):

• Minimum GPA of 3.4

• Currently Enrolled in an advanced degree program in pharmacometrics, pharmaceutical sciences, PharmD or related discipline

• Familiarity with PK/PD concepts and translational pharmacology

• Familiarity with modeling and simulation tools such as NONMEM, Monolix, ADAPT-5, Matlab or Julia and optimal sampling tools preferred, but not required

• Familiarity with data manipulation and visualization using R (including Rshiny, ggplot2 is advantageous)

• Must be curious, eager, open to learning, and independent

About Moderna

In over 10 years since its inception, Moderna has transformed from a research-stage company advancing programs in the field of messenger RNA (mRNA), to an enterprise with a diverse clinical portfolio of vaccines and therapeutics across seven modalities, a broad intellectual property portfolio in areas including mRNA and lipid nanoparticle formulation, and an integrated manufacturing plant that allows for rapid clinical and commercial production at scale. Moderna maintains alliances with a broad range of domestic and overseas government and commercial collaborators, which has allowed for the pursuit of both groundbreaking science and rapid scaling of manufacturing. Most recently, Moderna's capabilities have come together to allow the authorized use and approval of one of the earliest and most effective vaccines against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moderna's mRNA platform builds on continuous advances in basic and applied mRNA science, delivery technology and manufacturing, and has allowed the development of therapeutics and vaccines for infectious diseases, immuno-oncology, rare diseases, cardiovascular diseases and autoimmune diseases. Moderna has been named a top biopharmaceutical employer by Science for the past seven years. To learn more, visit www.modernatx.com.
