About the company
Our client is a life sciences company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Evaluates computer-generated suggestions for scientific soundness, applying broad knowledge of biology and pharmacology to judge which proposed approaches merit pursuit. This is part-time contract work of around 5 to 10 hours a week, performed remotely. The work moves between independent case analysis and periodic group discussions with the team.
What you'll do
- Study patient records, genomic results and molecular information to understand what drives a condition and which treatment routes might help.
- Examine candidate compounds generated by automated tools, add your own hypotheses and rank the most promising options.
- Judge whether a proposed mechanism would likely yield a real clinical effect, weighing the strength of evidence, achievable drug levels, tissue access, safety, drug interactions and individual patient factors.
- Spot gaps in the evidence, help shape validation studies, and choose biomarkers and measures that track response.
- Prepare well-supported written reports and make the case for recommendations to treating doctors, researchers and advocacy groups.
- Offer engineering and science teams precise feedback that strengthens the scientific reasoning and practical value of their models.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- A doctorate in biology or the life sciences, or a combined MD and PhD.
- At least 5 years of relevant professional experience.
- Thorough command of human biology and drug action, sufficient to test computer-generated hypotheses rigorously.
- Broad life sciences training that lets you reason about diseases beyond your own area of expertise.
- An established professional reputation that leads physicians and researchers to value your judgment.
