How much do full time pbpk modeling jobs pay per hour?

As of Jun 9, 2026, the average hourly pay for full time pbpk modeling in the United States is $40.33, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $31.25 and $43.51 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in full-time PBPK modeling roles, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals working full-time in PBPK (Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic) modeling often encounter challenges such as integrating complex biological data, managing large datasets, and ensuring model accuracy across diverse populations. Navigating evolving regulatory requirements and staying current with software tools can also be demanding. These challenges can be addressed by collaborating closely with interdisciplinary teams, attending relevant training or workshops, and maintaining open communication with regulatory and clinical partners to ensure models are robust and compliant.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Full Time PBPK (Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic) Modeler, and why are they important?

A Full Time PBPK Modeler needs expertise in pharmacokinetics, mathematical modeling, and a background in pharmaceutical sciences or a related field, typically with an advanced degree (MS/PhD). Proficiency in modeling software such as Simcyp, GastroPlus, or PK-Sim, along with familiarity with programming languages like R or MATLAB, is standard. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for interpreting data and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams. These skills ensure accurate modeling predictions, support drug development decisions, and facilitate regulatory submissions.

What is the difference between Full Time Pbpk Modeling vs Pharmacometric Modeling?

AspectFull Time Pbpk ModelingPharmacometric Modeling
Required CredentialsAdvanced degrees in pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, or related fields; often certifications in modelingSimilar credentials; often includes pharmacometrics certifications or advanced degrees
Work EnvironmentPharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, research institutions; focus on drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretionSame environments; emphasis on dose-response relationships and clinical trial data analysis
Industry UsageUsed for predicting drug behavior in populations, dose optimization, and regulatory submissionsUsed for understanding clinical efficacy, safety, and dose adjustments based on patient data

Full Time Pbpk Modeling and Pharmacometric Modeling share similar credentials and work environments, but differ in focus. Pbpk modeling emphasizes predicting drug behavior in the body using physiologically based models, while pharmacometric modeling concentrates on analyzing clinical data to inform dosing and efficacy.

What is PBPK modeling and what does a full-time PBPK modeler do?

PBPK modeling stands for Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic modeling. A full-time PBPK modeler develops mathematical models that simulate the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs in the body using physiological and biochemical parameters. This work helps predict how drugs behave in different populations, support drug development, and inform regulatory submissions. PBPK modelers often collaborate with pharmacologists, toxicologists, and regulatory scientists to optimize drug dosing and assess safety.

Job description

Job Type
Full-time
Description
Position Title: Associate Director, Clinical Pharmacology
Job Status: Exempt, Full Time
Location: Remote
Department: Clinical Pharmacology
Company Overview
Enliven Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of small molecule inhibitors to help people with cancer not only live longer but live better. The Company aims to address existing and emerging unmet needs with a precision oncology approach that improves survival and enhances overall well-being. Its discovery process combines deep insights in clinically validated biological targets and differentiated chemistry with the goal of designing therapies for unmet needs.
Role Summary
The Associate Director, Clinical pharmacology, is responsible for providing clinical pharmacology input in early and late-stage clinical development. The AD will represent clinical pharmacology function in clinical study teams, provide clinical pharmacology input on the dose, PK, DDI, and other related elements of early and late-stage clinical trials, and provide guidance on CP related issues during clinical trial execution. The AD will participate in the study design and execution of clinical pharmacology studies, such as human ADME, special population PKPD, and drug-drug interaction studies. The AD will contribute to the preparation of the regulatory documents such as briefing books for regulatory meetings, INDs, and IMPD dossiers, protocols, and clinical study reports. The AD will closely collaborate with other development-functions (Toxicology, Bioanalytical, Non-clinical PK/PD, Biomarkers, Biostatistics and Data Management, Clinical Operations, and Clinical Development) to bring drug candidates from IND stage to NDA. The clinical pharmacologist should have sound knowledge on small molecular ADME. Applicants who have sound modeling and simulation experience, but no DMPK experience, are also welcome. It is preferable to have hands-on modeling experience with PBPK modeling, popPK, or PKPD modeling, but not a strict requirement.
Core Role Responsibilities:
  • Responsible for the preparation of the clinical pharmacology sections of early and late-stage clinical protocols
  • Contribute to the preparation of the IND, IB and IMPD documents
  • Be able to conduct noncompartmental PK analysis based on preliminary data using standard industry data analysis software
  • Contribute to the design of early phase clinical trials (FIH to POC)
  • Contract and monitor CRO for clinical pharmacology projects, such as popPKPD analysis, clinical pharmacology studies
  • Represents the Clin Pharm function in project teams
  • Provide clinical pharmacology input and collaborate across all areas of drug development, along with research, preclinical, bioanalytical and clinical development functions.

Requirements
  • PhD with More than 3 years (or MS with more than 6 years) of industry experience in supporting pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and other clinical pharmacology components of early clinical trials within the pharmaceutical or biotech industry.
  • Experience with small molecule drug development is required. Knowledge of oncology drug development is a plus.
  • Hands on knowledge of PK/PD and statistical analyses methods used in analyzing early clinical phase data
  • Knowledge of general regulatory process and experience in writing Clin Pharm documents to support IND, EOP1, EOP2, or pre-BLA/NDA meetings with the FDA, EMA and other regulatory agencies
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills including good presentation skills
  • Hands-on modeling experience with PBPK modeling platforms is preferable
