About this position
This postdoctoral fellowship sits within the Northeastern University–Moderna Academic–Industrial Fellowship Program and focuses on pharmacometrics in a collaborative academic–industry setting. The fellow will be embedded in Moderna’s Clinical and Quantitative Pharmacology function and contribute to modeling and simulation work that supports drug candidates across early and late stages of clinical development, across multiple therapeutic modalities.
The project centers on model-informed drug development, with work in population PK/PD, exposure–response analysis, and mechanistic systems modeling. The fellow will help evaluate and implement quantitative strategies that inform development decisions and will work closely with cross-functional colleagues within CQP and across the wider development organization.
At Northeastern University, the role also includes scholarly activity in an academic laboratory environment, including scientific publication, conference presentations, mentoring of junior trainees, and participation in professional development. The posting emphasizes clear, rigorous scientific communication and offers opportunities to author manuscripts and present at national and international scientific conferences.
The position is based at Northeastern University and linked to a major industry partner, giving the fellow experience spanning academia and pharmaceutical development.

What's required
Applicants must have a PhD in pharmacometrics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, or a closely related field. They should demonstrate hands-on proficiency with pharmacometrics and modeling tools such as NONMEM, Monolix, R, nlmixr2, and Phoenix, along with a strong understanding of pharmacometrics principles and modeling and simulation strategies for PK/PD analyses, exposure-response characterization, dose selection, and optimization. Evidence of scientific engagement and emerging thought leadership in quantitative clinical pharmacology and pharmacometrics is required, and a record of publication in pharmacometrics is highly desirable.
