The RIA Target & Translational Science (TTS) department is an agile environment, with a science and patient-focused culture. Our mission is to understand disease mechanisms at the molecular level, identify the most effective target and the right patient population and close the gap between bench science and bedside clinical practice.
As Target Validation Lead (TVL), you will get the opportunity to play a key scientific role, building mechanistic understanding of the target and disease through creative application of experimental methods and technologies. You will be part of the Precision Medicine Discovery team, seeking to lead the human validation of our targets, identify Proof-of Mechanism biomarkers and deliver the line-of-sight for the target to clinic.
Depending on your previous background and experience, the seniority level of the role can be adapted. We are looking forward to learn how you will share this journey with us.
Main Duties and Responsibilities
In this role, you are both project and laboratory based, with the critical accountabilities of identifying and enabling Proof-of Mechanism biomarkers to demonstrate target engagement at First-Time-In-Man (FITM). Furthermore, you will lead the pre-clinical target validation strategy from TSID. By collaborating with other co-workers, you will provide projects with the expertise needed as well as continuously strengthen the link between targets and disease phenotypes and endotypes by bringing precision medicine propositions to the clinic.
Accountabilities and responsibilities:
* Delivery of preclinical human validation of target, such as in vivo models, cell types, tissue
* Responsible for the design, execution, interpretation and reporting of human Target Validation studies

* Broad understanding of relevant technologies and approaches
* Excellent scientific laboratory skills and ability to experimentally address key scientific questions
* Strong publication record
* Proven delivery in biomarkers and target validation and their application to drug discovery
* Extensive knowledge of the Respiratory therapy area and disease biology
* Proven experience and knowledge of the biological basis for target engagement biomarkers
* Excellent communicational and interpersonal skills resulting in a broad network
Desirable Requirements
* Post-doc experience in relevant field
* 10 years of work experience in pharmaceutical R&D, from lead identification through clinical trials
* Experience and proven understanding of biology, pharmacology, translational medicine and clinical sciences, with pre-eminence in at least one of these areas
