Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced and drivenSenior PK/PD Modellerto join our Clinical Pharmacology team. In this role, you will be responsible for the design, development, and implementation of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling strategies to support drug development across all phases. You will collaborate cross-functionally with pharmacometrics, clinical, regulatory, and nonclinical teams to provide quantitative insight into drug behavior and inform key decision-making.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the development and execution of PK/PD modeling and simulation strategies for preclinical and clinical programs.
  • Perform population pharmacokinetics (PopPK), exposure-response (E-R), and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling.
  • Translate complex quantitative data into actionable insights for dose selection, trial design, and regulatory interactions.
  • Author or contribute to clinical study protocols, pharmacometric analysis plans, and regulatory submissions (IND, NDA, BLA, MAA, etc.).
  • Serve as subject matter expert in modeling approaches and mentor junior scientists in PK/PD methodologies.
  • Collaborate with biostatistics, clinical pharmacology, regulatory affairs, and other key stakeholders to integrate modeling insights into overall development strategy.
  • Maintain awareness of new scientific and regulatory developments in pharmacometrics and contribute to external publications and presentations when appropriate.


Qualifications:

  • PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pharmacology, Applied Mathematics, Biomedical Engineering, or related field; or PharmD/MSc with significant modeling experience.
  • Minimum of 5–8 years of hands-on experience in PK/PD modeling, preferably within the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry.
  • Proficiency in NONMEM, Monolix, R, Phoenix WinNonlin, MATLAB, or other relevant software tools.
  • Strong understanding of regulatory guidance and expectations related to modeling and simulation (e.g., FDA, EMA).
  • Demonstrated ability to interpret and communicate complex data effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Track record of contributions to regulatory filings and/or scientific publications.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and project management skills.


Preferred Skills:

  • Experience in mechanistic modeling or QSP (Quantitative Systems Pharmacology).
  • Familiarity with PBPK modeling platforms (e.g., Simcyp, GastroPlus).
  • Experience in oncology, CNS, immunology, or other specific therapeutic areas is a plus.
  • Leadership in cross-functional project teams.


Why Join Us?

You’ll be part of a collaborative and innovative environment where your expertise will directly impact the development of transformative therapies. We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, flexible work arrangements, and the opportunity to grow professionally in a science-driven organization.

Where to Advertise Biotech Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise biotech jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and trade channels that reach biotech R&D and bioprocessing talent. The candidate pool spans life scientists, computational biologists, regulatory specialists and biomanufacturing engineers — each with distinct professional networks and job search behaviours. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that biotech professionals expect. Specialist platforms, academic channels and sector-specific communities each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BiotechnologyJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise biotech roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Biotech Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the genomics, cell therapy and AI-driven drug discovery hiring trends shaping UK biotech careers. Biotechnology is creating jobs at a rate that few other sectors can match. New disciplines are emerging from research labs and entering commercial hiring pipelines, existing roles are fragmenting into deeper specialisms, and the technologies driving it all — from AI-assisted drug discovery to next-generation gene editing — are advancing faster than the workforce can keep pace with. For job seekers, this creates an unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means navigating a relatively familiar landscape and identifying where your skills fit. In biotech, that landscape is being actively redrawn. The roles generating the most hiring activity in 2028 may look quite different from the ones appearing in job adverts today. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't always those with the longest CVs or the most letters after their name. They're the ones who understand where the sector is heading: which disciplines are gaining commercial traction, which technologies are driving employer demand, and how the definition of a "biotech job" is expanding well beyond traditional pharmaceuticals and research roles. This article breaks down what the UK biotech jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising right now, and how to position your career ahead of the curve rather than behind it.
