## About the role

A molecule can work in a dish and fail in a living system for an entirely different reason. It may not reach the tissue, persist long enough, or act in the biological context we expected. We want a scientist who can distinguish those explanations and design the experiment that tells us what to do next.

## What they're looking for

- You have independently driven rigorous in-vivo research and can defend the model selection, controls, analysis, and conclusions, not just describe the procedures you performed
- You bring deep hands-on experience in a relevant model system and understand both its practical limitations and what it can tell us about human biology
- You can reason about pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and biological mechanism together, and distinguish insufficient exposure from lack of activity
- You take experimental design seriously: randomization, blinding where feasible, justified sample sizes, and explicit handling of variability
- You combine scientific independence with meticulous execution, documentation, and a strong commitment to animal welfare. Moving quickly does not mean relaxing those standards
