Essential Functions of the Job (Key responsibilities)

  • Conduct in vitro and in vivo biotransformation studies, including hepatocyte, microsomal, and radiolabeled (e.g., 14C) ADME investigations
  • Perform metabolite identification using LC-MS/MS and high-resolution mass spectrometry platforms (e.g., Orbitrap, QTOF)
  • Analyze and interpret mass spectrometry data to characterize metabolic pathways and identify potential liabilities
  • Serve as the biotransformation representative on assigned discovery program(s), with level of independence commensurate with experience
  • Generate and communicate metabolite identification results to support medicinal chemistry and program decision-making
  • Support development programs through analysis and reporting of preclinical and clinical ADME studies, including mass balance and human ADME studies
  • Prepare and review technical reports and contribute to regulatory documents (IND/NDA) as appropriate
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and coordinate external CRO activities as needed

Qualifications (Minimal acceptable level of education, work experience, and competency)

  • Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related discipline with 0-5+ years of relevant industry or postdoctoral experience
    or
  • M.S. with 4-8+ years of relevant industry experience
    or
  • B.S. with 6-10+ years of relevant industry experience
  • Experience in biotransformation and metabolite identification in a pharmaceutical or CRO environment
  • Hands-on experience with in vitro metabolism systems (e.g., hepatocytes, microsomes)
  • Experience interpreting LC-MS/MS or high-resolution MS data for metabolite identification
  • Experience working with or supporting radiolabeled (e.g., 14C) ADME studies, including sample handling, data generation, or interpretation
  • Strong understanding of drug metabolism pathways (e.g., CYP, UGT)
  • Ability to analyze complex data and clearly communicate findings to matrix team members

Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience contributing to regulatory submissions (IND/NDA)
    • Familiarity with metabolite identification software (e.g., UNIFI, Compound Discoverer, MassMetaSite)
    • Experience working in a cross-functional drug discovery environment
