Director/Sr Director, Long-Acting Injectable & Bio-Nano Interface Characterization

requirements

• Earned PhD in pharmaceutical sciences, chemical or biomedical engineering, materials science, biophysics, or a related field. • 8+ years of relevant industry/translational experience in long-acting injectable/depot formulation (must have) and injectable nanoparticle development, including: demonstrated depth in release-rate engineering for polymer or lipid depot systems, and physicochemical characterization of nanoparticle systems. • Demonstrated ability to bridge preclinical mechanistic understanding of injectable depot release and bio-nano interactions — or a directly comparable physical delivery mechanism — into IND-enabling or design-control-ready translational plans • Working knowledge of design controls and quality systems in a regulated industry. • Effective, hands-on use of AI/ML-enabled tools to accelerate scientific research, technical writing, and translational planning • Proven ability to lead, mentor, and develop technical talent, including staff outside a direct reporting line • A publication and/or patent record demonstrating recognized technical contribution in long-acting injectable or nanoparticle-based drug delivery; and excellent scientific communication skills across technical/non-technical and internal/external audiences. Additional Preferences: • Experience with protein-corona (biocorona) profiling — e.g., proteomics/LC-MS/MS of the biomolecular corona — and translating physicochemical attributes to in vivo biodistribution and PK • Experience with sustained-release device-drug-product integration (prefilled syringes, autoinjectors). • Experience with complex characterization tools (e.g., IVIVC/PK modeling, AF4-MALS, cryo-EM/cryo-TEM, or equivalent) is a plus but not required if compensated by deep mechanistic/biological expertise.
