- 3+ years of full-time experience in a pharmaceutical, biotech, or leading academic research environment
- Expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Drug discovery (medicinal chemistry, biology, HTS, DMPK)
- Preclinical / translational research (PK/PD, toxicology, biomarkers)
- Clinical development (Phase I–IV, biostatistics, clinical operations)
- Regulatory affairs (IND, NDA, BLA, EMA) or CMC
- Real-world evidence, HEOR, or pharmacovigilance
- Hands-on experience with industry-standard tools and platforms (e.g., clinical data systems, modeling software, lab management tools)
- Strong analytical thinking and ability to translate complex workflows into structured task designs
- Excellent written communication and attention to detail
Engagement Model
- Initial compensation based on hourly engagement
- Transition to performance-based compensation aligned with quality and throughput of contributions
- Fully remote, asynchronous work environment with flexible scheduling
Additional Information
- Independent contractor engagement
- Work must not involve sharing confidential or proprietary information from any current or past employer or institution
