Scientist II, Cancer Pharmacology, Translational Research

Revolution Medicines is a clinical-stage precision oncology company focused on developing novel targeted therapies to inhibit frontier targets in RAS-addicted cancers.  The company’s R&D pipeline comprises RAS(ON) Inhibitors designed to suppress diverse oncogenic variants of RAS proteins, and RAS Companion Inhibitors for use in combination treatment strategies. As a new member of the Revolution Medicines team, you will join other outstanding scientists in a tireless commitment to patients with cancers harboring mutations in the RAS signaling pathway.

The Opportunity:

As a Scientist II in the Translational Research team, within the Biology Department, you will:

• As a member of a cross-functional quantitative modeling group, collaborate with team members to develop, validate and refine physiologically-based PK (PBPK), quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP), and semi-mechanistic PK/PD models to support discovery and development-phase projects.

• Propose mechanistic in vitro and in vivo experiments to test model assumptions and structure.

• Seek and apply innovative modeling approaches to understand tumor resistance to RAS(ON) inhibitors and build in silico models

• Design, conduct, and manage in vivo and ex vivo experiments in-house or at contract research organizations (CROs), and other collaborating institutions, to support above modeling activities

• Present results at internal meetings and scientific conferences.

• Develop high-quality protocols and outputs and maintain detailed documentation of procedures and data to comply with internal standard operating procedures and other quality criteria, where necessary.

Required Skills, Experience and Education:

• Ph.D. with quantitative science background (pharmaceutical sciences, mathematics, systems pharmacology, computational biology, etc.); or Ph.D. in pharmacology or cancer biology or a related discipline with modeling experience.

• 2+ years of relevant postdoc or industry experience in cancer drug discovery and development.

• A strong theoretical understanding of the core concepts, assumptions, and limitations associated with PK/PD modeling

• Experience with development, calibration, and validation of ordinary differential equation (ODE) and non-linear mixed effect (NLME) models.

• Rigorous, quantitative and detail-oriented with proven excellence in experimental design, data analysis, data management, and presentation.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Able to effectively communicate modeling assumptions, limitations, and simulation results to non-specialist and specialist audiences.

• Demonstrated ability to multi-task, prioritize options, anticipate challenges, and execute on goals as a member of an interdisciplinary team is extremely important.

• Thrives in a collaborative team setting and is driven by a desire to be innovative in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

Preferred Skills:

• Solid PK/PD knowledge and prior experience with PK/PD data collection and analysis.

• An understanding of preclinical to clinical translational concepts desired.

• Hands on experience with modeling software (Simbiology, Phoenix WinNonlin, NONMEM, etc.) and PBPK model development.

• Demonstrated experience in in vivo experiments with oncology disease models.

• Strong track record of research productivity as evidenced by high-quality, impactful publications.
