Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Biogen’s Clinical Pharmacology & Pharmacometrics team supports data-driven drug development through pharmacology, quantitative modeling, and simulation. The co-op will contribute to QSP model development, AI/ML-enabled modeling workflows, and model-based meta-analysis in the autoimmune therapeutic area, using data to inform drug-development decisions.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the development and refinement of mechanistic Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) models to support drug discovery and development programs
• Explore and evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning approaches to enhance and accelerate QSP modeling workflows
• Perform Model-Based Meta-Analyses (MBMA) to generate quantitative evidence that informs portfolio strategy and drug development decisions
• Analyze, integrate, and interpret preclinical and clinical data to support model development and decision-making
• Learn and implement the industry-standard data handling and modeling rules
• Prepare internal presentations based on the progress of work on an on-going basis
• Prepare external poster and manuscript publications, when applicable, which is highly possible and encouraged
• Support additional CPP team tasks as needed

Skills

• Strong interest in Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP), mechanistic modeling, and model-informed drug development
• Experience developing or applying mathematical, computational, or systems biology models to address complex biological questions
• Interest in applying AI/ML methods to enhance modeling workflows, data integration, and scientific decision-making
• Proficiency in R, Python, MATLAB, or similar scientific computing tools
• Experience analyzing and interpreting biological, preclinical, clinical, omics, or literature-derived datasets
• Familiarity with meta-analysis, model-based analysis, evidence synthesis, or related quantitative methods
• Strong quantitative reasoning, scientific problem-solving, and critical thinking skills
• Demonstrated ability to independently learn and apply new computational, analytical, and modeling techniques
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex scientific concepts clearly
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S
• At least 18 years of age prior to the scheduled start date
• Currently enrolled in an accredited community college, college, university or skills program/apprenticeship
• Ph.D. candidate (3rd year or above) with experience in quantitative, computational, or mechanistic modeling
• Candidates with a Master's degree or Pharm.D. and demonstrated modeling, data analysis, or computational biology experience will also be considered

Benefits

• Company paid holidays
• Commuter benefits
• Employee Resource Groups participation
• 80 hours of sick time per calendar year
