  • 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

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