Summary:
This application is for a 6-month student role from July - December 2023. Resume review begins in January 2023.
Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics (CPP) provides characterization and prediction of the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and drug metabolism (PPDM) of the drug candidate in selected preclinical and all clinical areas, supporting drug discovery and medical therapeutics across many disease areas. As part of our mission, CPP is developing cutting-edge computational tools and accurate anatomical models as we develop a computational fluid dynamics simulation of the central nervous system.
Position Description:
You will be part of a team doing mechanistic modeling of the central nervous system, including fluid dynamics, solute transport, and tissue biomechanics. You will help with the definition of modeling approaches that can capture the relevant biology under study and, you will run, characterize, and validate these models using experimental data.
Qualifications:
Relevant qualifications in addition to the below criteria.
- Strong computational skills.
- Experience in computational fluid dynamics
- Experience in mechanistic modeling
- Experience with Linux environment and high-performance computing and/or cloud computing environment would be a plus.
- Knowledge in tissue biomechanics is a plus
- Knowledge and/or interest in anatomy is a plus
- Knowledge and/or interest in neuroscience is a plus
