At Eisai, satisfying unmet medical needs and increasing the benefits healthcare provides to patients, their families, and caregivers is Eisai's human health care (hhc) mission. We're a growing pharmaceutical company that is breaking through in neurology and oncology, with a strong emphasis on research and development. Our history includes the development of many innovative medicines, notably the discovery of the world's most widely-used treatment for Alzheimer's disease. As we continue to expand, we are seeking highly-motivated individuals who want to work in a fast-paced environment and make a difference. If this is your profile, we want to hear from you.

Eisai is searching for a creative, resourceful, integrative thinker who is driven to use cutting edge modeling approaches to advance the clinical and translational research in Neuroscience. This individual will provide scientific leadership to develop and execute impactful pharmacometrics strategies in support of key decisions for programs across all phases of drug development. The complexity and scale of data being generated has grown significantly and requires strong scientific contributions to integrate different approaches in modeling, statistics, and data science to bring value to the Eisai portfolio. This role requires diverse modeling experience in drug development within pharma/biotech, agility in being able to handle both hands-on modeling and strategic leadership for a dynamic project portfolio and a strong track-record of scientific and collaborative leadership in complex projects and initiatives.
