Principal Scientist, Pharmacokinetics, Biologics

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where there is real content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Keep substantive info. We need to parse the job description. Key sections: - About the role / overview: The first paragraphs describing company, mission, R&D Division Boston, PDMB group seeking Principal Scientist, location Boston, etc. This is descriptive prose. - Responsibilities: The bullet list under "In This Exciting Position, Your Primary Roles Will Include". Also earlier bullet about leading group etc. We'll combine. - Requirements: Education Minimum Requirement (Ph.D with 6+ years or Master's with 10+ years). Also maybe "Required Experience And Skills" list. - Qualifications: Could be same as Requirements? But we need separate sections only if content. Could combine Education under Requirements and Experience under Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple sections. We need to decide what goes where. Typically: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (maybe preferred?), Skills (required and preferred skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have info: Salary range $176,200 - $277,300. Benefits described: medical, dental, vision, retirement 401k, paid holidays, vacation, sick days. Also mention annual bonus and long-term incentive. Also mention relocation domestic, VISA sponsorship yes, travel 10%, flexible work arrangements not applicable, shift not indicated, etc. But schedule: Not indicated. We should only include Schedule if posting actually states it. It says "Shift Not Indicated". That's not a schedule detail; we should not create Schedule section because no real schedule info. Similarly, Pay: we have salary range, so include Pay section. Benefits: we have description, include Benefits. Skills: we have Required Experience And Skills list, Preferred Experience And Skills list, plus Required Skills (list of keywords) and Preferred Skills (list). We'll combine into Skills section with required and preferred sublists maybe. But we need to use

• for any list. Could separate required skills and preferred skills as separate
  under Skills heading. Qualifications: Could include education and experience? But we already have Requirements for education. Maybe Qualifications for "Preferred Experience And Skills"? However the instruction says we can have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. We'll decide: Requirements: Education minimum requirement. Qualifications: Required Experience And Skills (the bullet list). Skills: Preferred Experience And maybe the list of skills (ADME etc). But there is also "Required Skills" list of keywords; that seems like skills. We'll treat that as Skills (required). Preferred Skills list as also Skills (preferred). To avoid duplication, we can combine required and preferred under Skills with headings inside? But we cannot add extra headings beyond those specified? The instruction only says use those headings for sections; inside we can have any markup. Could have Required Skills: then a list. Simplify: We'll have: - About the role: prose summarizing company, mission, PDMB group, location, role. - Responsibilities: list of primary roles (the bullet list under "In This Exciting Position, Your Primary Roles Will Include") plus maybe earlier bullet about leading group etc. We'll capture all duty-like statements. - Requirements: Education minimum requirement (Ph.D with 6+ years or Master's with 10+ years) plus maybe "Relevant experience to include a record of increasing responsibility..." That's also a requirement. We'll include that. - Qualifications: Could be "Required Experience And Skills" bullet list (the longer list). We'll treat as qualifications. - Skills: list of Required Skills (the comma-separated list) and Preferred Skills list. - Benefits: description of benefits. - Pay: salary range. We must not include Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. We must preserve all substantive info; not invent. Let's extract substantive content. From text: Overview paragraphs: - "Our company is a global health care leader with a diversified portfolio of prescription medicines, vaccines and animal health products. The difference between potential and achievement lies in the spark that fuels innovation and inventiveness; this is the space where our company has codified its legacy for over a century. Our company’s success is backed by ethical integrity, forward momentum, and an inspiring mission to achieve new milestones in global healthcare. At our company, we are inspired by the belief that a research-driven enterprise dedicated to scientific excellence can create medicines that save and improve lives. Every employee is building on our proud legacy of scientific breakthrough. Our ability to impact the lives of patients worldwide depends on the integrity, creativity, humility and scientific acumen of our team. We are creating an organization that is inspired by invention and founded on a culture of respect and collaboration. At our Research & Development Division Boston, you’ll have the opportunity to expand your knowledge and skills through collaboration with talented and dedicated colleagues while advancing your career. The Pharmacokinetics, Dynamics, Metabolism and Bioanalytics (PDMB) group is seeking a dynamic, strategic thinking and collaborative Principal Scientist (director-level equivalent) to contribute to our company’s bioanalytical efforts for biologics in our drug discovery portfolio. This position will be based at our research labs in Boston, MA. The ideal candidate will lead a group focused on bioanalytical efforts (ligand binding assays and mass spectrometry) for biologics and other modalities while also serving as a project-team representative, regularly interacting with multi-disciplinary discovery teams and partners from other functions within our Research & Development Division. Therapeutic area support with focus on our immunology and oncology portfolios, with the potential to contribute to cardiovascular/metabolic, neuroscience and infectious disease efforts as well. The successful candidate will be expected to represent PDMB on cross-functional teams through strategic design and evaluation of bioanalytical approaches and results, interpretation of PK and PK/PD data sets and through effective communication at both internal meetings and external conferences." That's the overview. Responsibilities: Under "In This Exciting Position, Your Primary Roles Will Include" bullet list: - Lead bioanalytical strategies for a portfolio of drug discovery programs with a primary focus on biologics (monoclonal antibodies, bispecifics, and engineered proteins), providing high quality and timely data to project teams across our Research & Development Division’s drug discovery portfolio - Manage a team of lab-based PDMB scientists responsible for developing and executing ligand binding assays and mass spectrometry-based bioanalytical strategies - Project-team representative and subject matter expert on multiple modality DMPK activities within the oncology and immunology therapeutic areas - Contribute to global DMPK strategy through close collaboration with Discovery and Early Development project teams in Boston (MA), South San Francisco (CA) and West Point (PA) focusing on building highly efficient strategies to identify and optimize drug candidates Also earlier: "The ideal candidate will lead a group focused on bioanalytical efforts (ligand binding assays and mass spectrometry) for biologics and other modalities while also serving as a project-team representative, regularly interacting with multi-disciplinary discovery teams and partners from other functions within our Research & Development Division." That's similar to responsibilities but we can include. Requirements: Education Minimum Requirement: "Ph.D (with 6+ years relevant experience) or Master’s (minimum of 10 years relevant experience) degree in biochemistry, chemistry, pharmacology, pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical engineering or related field. Relevant experience to include a record of increasing responsibility and independence in a similar industrial/academic setting" Also maybe "Required Experience And Skills" list is more like qualifications. Let's capture Required Experience And Skills bullet list: - Demonstrated experience leading bioanalytical strategies for biologics (ligand binding assays and mass spectrometry), including method development, data generation, interpretation and report writing - Technical ability to analyze, interpret and provide context around data describing the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, biomarker or immunogenicity properties of biologics, drug conjugates and peptides - Experience contributing to development and execution of translational pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic/efficacy relationships and other useful quantitative pharmacology applications in a discovery setting - Proven management experience, including mentorship and talent development of multiple direct reports - Strong leadership, interpersonal, communication, problem solving and collaborative qualities to deliver high-quality results in a fast-paced environment Preferred Experience And Skills: - Hands-on experience performing translational pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic/ efficacy and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) software modeling (e.g., Phoenix WinNonlin, Berkeley Madonna, MATLAB). - Proven track record supporting immunology or oncology-based programs with experience spanning from early discovery through IND-enabling efforts - Familiarity with engineering strategies to improve pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of protein therapeutics - Experience working within a research-driven pharmaceutical company Also "#EligibleforERP" maybe ignore. Required Skills list: "ADME, Bioanalysis, Bioanalytical Method Development, Biologics, Cross-Functional Teamwork, Drug Development, Drug Discovery Research, Drug Metabolism, Ligand Binding, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacology, PKPD Modeling, Therapeutic Proteins" Preferred Skills list: "Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE" Actually that's not skills; that's apply links. Wait after "#EligibleforERP" there is "Required Skills ADME, Bioanalysis, ..." then "Preferred Skills Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE". That seems misplaced; maybe the preferred skills list is actually those apply links? Actually the text: #EligibleforERP Required Skills ADME, Bioanalysis, Bioanalytical Method Development, Biologics, Cross-Functional Teamwork, Drug Development, Drug Discovery Research, Drug Metabolism, Ligand Binding, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacology, PKPD Modeling, Therapeutic Proteins Preferred Skills Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only It seems the "Preferred Skills" line is incorrectly placed; maybe the intended preferred skills list is missing and instead they put apply links. We'll ignore the apply links as boilerplate. So we have only Required Skills list. Benefits: "We offer a comprehensive package of benefits. Available benefits include medical, dental, vision healthcare and other insurance benefits (for employee and family), retirement benefits, including 401(k), paid holidays, vacation, and compassionate and sick days. More information about benefits is available at https://jobs.merck.com/us/en/compensation-and-benefits." Also mention annual bonus and long-term incentive. Pay: "The salary range for this role is $176,200.00 - $277,300.00 This is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting. An employee’s position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, geographic location, government requirements, and business or organizational needs. The successful candidate will be eligible for annual bonus and long-term incentive, if applicable." Schedule: Not indicated; we will not create Schedule section. Now produce HTML. We'll wrap each section in

  heading then content. For lists, use

  • . For prose, use

    . We need to avoid repeating job title. We'll not include any metadata like Job ID. Let's craft. About the role: combine overview paragraphs into maybe two

    but can be one. Responsibilities:

    with the four bullet items (plus maybe the earlier lead group statement). We'll include the four from the bullet list; also maybe include "lead a group focused on bioanalytical efforts..." but it's similar to first bullet. We'll keep the four. Requirements:

    containing education requirement and relevant experience sentence. Qualifications:

    with Required Experience And Skills bullet list. Skills: maybe
