In addition to the scientific and clinical duties, fellows are given the opportunity to grow their “soft skills”, such as oral communication, presentation skills and working on multi-disciplinary teams. *Job Qualifications: *Preferred qualifications for the position are a doctoral (Ph.D. or equivalent) degree in quantitative sciences including Pharmacometrics, Biochemical Engineering, and Systems Pharmacology/Biology as well as knowledge of, or experience in, therapeutics in one or more disease areas with an interest in pursuing a career in Pharmacometrics and Quantitative Systems Pharmacology. The ideal candidate should possess strong programming skills, excellent written and verbal communication, good organizational abilities, and team work. A background and understanding of basic pharmacology, pharmacometrics and/or systems biology/pharmacology is preferred and strong hands-on knowledge in using software platforms such as NONMEM, MATLAB, R/SAS or other software/scripting languages is required. The candidate must be self-directed and self-motivated. *Center for Pharmacometrics and System Pharmacology (CPSP) Overview: *The CPSP (http://cpsp.pharmacy.ufl.edu/) is located in the University of Florida Academic & Research Center at the Lake Nona Medical City about 5 miles southeast of the Orlando International Airport. The CPSP provides an academic home to a multidisciplinary and integrative, quantitative clinical pharmacology program in drug development and regulatory science. Lake Nona Medical City (http://www.lakenona.com/medical-city/) is a landmark for Orlando and a premier location for medical care, research and education. It is anchored by University of Central Florida Medical School, the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, the newest VA Medical Center in the country, the Nemours Children's Hospital, and University of Florida Academic & Research Center. In addition to the pharmaceutical industry and the FDA, CPSP will also provide the opportunity for hard-working and self-motivated candidates to work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary group of scientists from other institutes and hospitals in the Orlando area. *How To Apply: *Please send curriculum vitae, a brief letter of interest and contact information for three references to Dr. Mirjam N.
