Scientist Exploratory Biopharmaceutics

Scientist Exploratory Biopharmaceutics

BMS - Bristol-Myers Squibb

Moreton, United Kingdom

What You'll Be Doing:

As a Scientist or Senior Scientist in Exploratory Biopharmaceutics, you'll be working at the critical intersection of modelling, pharmacokinetics, and drug product strategy, helping determine whether a promising molecule can actually become a safe, effective therapy for patients.

Early-stage development is where the big decisions get made. Your modelling and simulation work will directly shape how a molecule progresses through clinical stages, how it's presented to regulators and ultimately, how it reaches patients.

This isn't a support role, it's a science leadership role.

You day to day

• Build and refine pharmacokinetic models that identify the biopharmaceutics performance attributes that make or break a molecule's clinical success, your insights will guide critical go/no-go decisions
• Develop integrated biopharmaceutics modelling and simulation packages that underpin regulatory submissions and dossiers, your work will be the scientific backbone of how BMS communicates with health authorities
• Shape biopharmaceutics strategies for active clinical and nonclinical studies, translating complex science into practical exposure targets that improve outcomes for real patients
• Lead your own development projects with genuine autonomy, you won't be waiting for direction, you'll be setting it
• Collaborate directly with Discovery, Clinical Pharmacology, Regulatory, and Toxicology teams, this is a role that earns you a seat at the table across the full drug development lifecycle
• Work across therapeutic areas, giving you breadth of experience that accelerates your career in ways a narrower role simply couldn't

What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone who's technically sharp, intellectually curious, and genuinely energised by the pace of early-stage pharmaceutical development.

You'll be a great fit if you have:

• A PhD in a relevant discipline (Pharmaceutics, Pharmacokinetics, DMPK, or related field) combined with meaningful industry or research experience
• Hands-on modelling expertise, PBPK, popPK, PK-PD, QSP — you know these tools and you know how to make them tell a useful story
• A solid grounding in ADME, PK, and drug substance/drug product manufacturing processes - enough to speak credibly across functions
• A track record of publications and presentations that demonstrates you're engaged with where the field is going, not just where it's been
• The kind of communication skills that translate complex science into clear, actionable insights for cross-functional partners — from bench scientists to regulatory reviewers
