Why Patients Need You
Pfizer’s purpose is to deliver breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. Research and Development (R&D) is at the heart of fulfilling Pfizer’s purpose as we work to translate advanced science and technologies into the therapies and vaccines that matter most. As a post-doctoral scientist in Drug Safety R&D (DSRD) organization, you will apply cutting edge technologies to accelerate and bring the best-in-class and safe medicines to patients around the world.
What You Will Achieve
As a Post-doctoral Fellow, you will be part of the Alternative Technology and Imaging (ATI) group within the Bothell DSRD department. You will collaborate with multi-disciplinary and talented scientists towards developing a better understanding of how hepatic physiology and metabolism influence ADC pharmacokinetics and toxicity. Studies in vitro complex liver cell culture models / novel alternative methods (NAMs) will be developed and hypotheses related to ADC structural characteristics will be tested in these systems.
Your strong foundation in molecular and cellular biology principles will enable you to take innovative approaches that will lead to achieving new milestones for the treatment of oncology patients.
How You Will Achieve It
Driving innovation, independent thinking, problem solving, and meticulous design, execution and interpretation of experiments under minimal supervision.
Collaborating and seeking guidance from subject matter experts, including toxicologists, complex cell culture specialists, cancer biologists, and protein scientists, to achieve project objectives.
Working with mentors to develop and apply complex in vitro assays to develop translatable models.
Presenting the research work at various internal and external meetings and conferences and publish in relevant peer-reviewed journals.
Contributing to building a culture that embraces scientific excellence, urgency, partnerships with key stakeholders, continuous learning and improvement, increasing technical skill base and neurotoxicology expertise.
Ensuring all tasks and responsibilities are carried out according to scientific, ethical and regulatory standards.

Sunshine Act
Pfizer reports payments and other transfers of value to health care providers as required by federal and state transparency laws and implementing regulations. These laws and regulations require Pfizer to provide government agencies with information such as a health care provider’s name, address and the type of payments or other value received, generally for public disclosure. Subject to further legal review and statutory or regulatory clarification, which Pfizer intends to pursue, reimbursement of recruiting expenses for licensed physicians may constitute a reportable transfer of value under the federal transparency law commonly known as the Sunshine Act. Therefore, if you are a licensed physician who incurs recruiting expenses as a result of interviewing with Pfizer that we pay or reimburse, your name, address and the amount of payments made currently will be reported to the government. If you have questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact your Talent Acquisition representative.
