Research Scientist V

Payrate: $94.54 - $106.66/hr.

Summary:
Global Target Discovery has established a dedicated micro physiological systems (MPS) department in Watertown with the purpose of identifying and integrating the next generation of human disease models into our target discovery efforts within cardiometabolic disease. The department will be anchored in the target discovery area and will have strong integration with the biology areas across therapy areas.
Scientist I/II will be part of a highly ambitious multidisciplinary team dedicated to setting up and implementing human cell-based disease relevant MPS platforms to support validation and progression of early drug candidates. The position will report to the Head of humanized model development department. Working closely with the cardiometabolic therapeutic areas across Research & Early Development (R&ED) organization, the individual will be part of the organ-specific disease model development efforts with the initial focus of developing multicellular cardiometabolic disease models. In addition, the Scientist I/II will help establish this new unit by setting up advanced models of cardiometabolic diseases. The individual will drive the in vitro technology development in multidisciplinary teams requiring hands-on in the lab, guiding junior scientists, and working closely with external partners on specific model development projects.

Responsibilities:

• Proven subject matter expertise in the field of: Micro physiological Systems, cardiometabolic Client-ease research (obesity & Type 2 Diabetes biology, preferred experience with adipose or vascular biology or insulin resistance).
• Demonstrates a specialized knowledge of advanced vitro models and engages relationships with other key areas related to drug discovery and development in the pharmaceutical industry.
• Work with full autonomy on complex tasks requiring specialized knowledge of strategic importance to the area.
• Take part in the organ-specific disease model development efforts especially within adipose tis-sue, vascular and insulin resistance.
• Drive the in vitro technology development in multidisciplinary teams, guiding junior scientists, and working closely with the external partners on specific model development projects.
• Effectively communicate and collaborate across global sites and set project strategy by providing leadership of cross-functional project teams.
