  • Interpret and organize preclinical in vivo and in vitro research data

  • Prepare scientific figures, tables, graphical abstracts, and supporting materials

  • Create conference abstracts, posters, presentations, and related scientific communications

  • Manage manuscript revisions, co-author input, and responses to peer-review feedback

Required Qualifications

  • PhD or Master's degree in Neuroscience, Pharmacology, or a related life science field

  • Strong scientific writing and editing experience within pain research or pain pharmacology

  • Ability to interpret complex preclinical datasets and communicate findings clearly

  • Experience developing scientific manuscripts and technical reports

  • Knowledge of in vivo and in vitro pharmacology studies

  • Experience preparing NIH SBIR/STTR, DoD, foundation, or similar research grants

  • Understanding of FDA drug development pathways, preferably involving pain therapeutics

  • Experience with statistical/data analysis tools such as GraphPad Prism, R, SAS, or JMP

  • Strong attention to scientific accuracy, data integrity, and detail

This is a fully remote U.S.-based opportunity with no requirement to live near a company office.
