Summary: The role of PK/PD Modeling / Pharmacometrics Lead at Mercor involves evaluating pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic models and ensuring their quantitative rigor. The position requires strong expertise in quantitative pharmacology and modeling tools, with a focus on providing credible predictions and identifying potential issues in model outputs. This is a remote, hourly contract position with a commitment of 10–40 hours per week. Compensation ranges from $150 to $200 per hour based on experience and project requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Evaluate PK/PD and exposure–response model outputs for plausibility and quantitative rigor.
  • Identify non-plausible parameter spaces, unsafe extrapolations, and high-risk assumptions.
  • Design clear model evaluation rubrics that separate credible vs. non-credible predictions.
  • Define quantitative sanity checks and failure conditions (parameter limits, curve fit quality, coverage issues).
  • Provide example “gold-standard” PK/PD fits and concise reasoning behind key modeling decisions.

Key Skills:

  • Strong years of experience in quantitative pharmacology, PK/PD modeling, or pharmacometrics.
  • Strong hands-on experience with exposure–response, population PK, and parameter estimation.
  • Proficiency with NONMEM, Monolix, or similar modeling tools.
  • Ability to interpret model results for dose justification and decision-making.
  • Skilled at identifying structural issues, poor fits, and unrealistic assumptions in models.
