As a Senior Research Scientist – DMPK, you will serve as a subject matter expert in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics for discovery and pre-clinical research projects. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and implementing DMPK and PK/PD strategies that guide compound optimization, de-risking and accelerating early R&D programs through candidate selection and progression into the development pipeline.

Your Responsibilities: • Serve as the PK/DMPK scientific lead across multidisciplinary discovery and pre-clinical research teams, establishing strategies to guide small and large molecule candidates toward nomination. • Design, execute, and monitor in vitro DMPK/ADME and in vivo PK/PD profiling studies to evaluate target exposure, bioavailability, metabolism, and drug interaction risks. • Integrate DMPK findings with pharmacology and toxicology data to build robust lead profiles, perform IVIVC or mechanistic modeling, and drive go/no-go progression decisions. • Collaborate cross-functionally across global R&D and partner with external CROs and academic collaborators to access specialized technologies and advance early pipeline packages. • Prepare and deliver clear scientific summaries, reports, and presentations on DMPK findings to enable evidence-based governance decisions.

What You Need to Succeed (minimum qualifications): • Education: Advanced scientific degree (PhD, PharmD, DVM, or Master's/Bachelor's degree with equivalent level of experience) in Pharmacology, Chemistry, Veterinary/Medical Sciences, or related scientific discipline. • Required Experience: A minimum of 4 years of experience in pharmaceutical industry or academia in discovery and pre-clinical DMPK research, with demonstrated experience in both small and large molecule drug development. • Strong foundational expertise in early-phase DMPK/ADME characterization, PK/PD data interpretation, and proficiency in PK software tools (such as Phoenix WinNonlin, Monolix, or equivalent).

What will give you a competitive edge (preferred qualifications): • Experience with mechanistic PK modeling and/or physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling. • Strong chemistry background with understanding of compound structures, classes, and in vitro profiling. • Familiarity with veterinary drug development and species-specific considerations in animal metabolism and pharmacokinetics. • Demonstrated experience managing and collaborating with external contract research organizations (CROs) and academic partners. • Proven track record of cross-functional collaboration and delivering clear scientific presentations to diverse technical and non-technical audiences.

Additional Information: • Travel: Up to 10% of domestic and international travel • Location: Global Elanco Headquarters - Indianapolis, IN - Hybrid Work Environment

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
