QSP postdoctoral scientist
for sections present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. Let's parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro paragraph about Lilly, mission, etc. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Position Overview" is a section. Could map to "About the role". We'll include that.
- Primary Responsibilities list: bullet points.
- Basic Qualifications: list.
- Additional Skills/Preferences: list.
- Additional Information: includes duration, not permanent, fixed term, opportunities to apply for full-time positions after duration, Lilly accommodation statement, EEO, ERGs, compensation, benefits.
We need to decide which sections map to which headings.
We have:
- About the role: could be the Position Overview paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Primary Responsibilities.
- Requirements: maybe Basic Qualifications? Or Requirements could be same as Qualifications. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have separate Requirements and Qualifications. We need to decide what content goes where. Typically Requirements = basic qualifications; Qualifications = maybe additional skills/preferences? But they also have Skills heading. Could map:
- Requirements: Basic Qualifications (must-have).
- Qualifications: maybe Additional Skills/Preferences (preferred).
- Skills: maybe also Additional Skills/Preferences? But we have both Qualifications and Skills; we could split: Qualifications = Additional Skills/Preferences (preferred), Skills = maybe specific technical skills list? However the posting includes "Additional Skills/Preferences" list which includes knowledge in T cell engager bispecifics, understanding of PK/PD, enthusiasm for AI/ML, problem solving, time-management, communication, publication record. That could be considered Skills.
Thus we could have:
- Requirements: Basic Qualifications.
- Qualifications: maybe none? But we need to avoid empty sections. Could combine Additional Skills/Preferences into Skills heading, and maybe Qualifications could be omitted if no distinct content. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can omit Qualifications if no distinct content separate from Skills. However we have both Requirements and Skills; we could also include Qualifications as same as Skills? Might be redundant but allowed? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should avoid creating thin sections. Better to have:
- About the role (Position Overview)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (Basic Qualifications)
- Skills (Additional Skills/Preferences)
- Benefits (benefits description)
- Pay (compensation range)
- Schedule? Not mentioned; no schedule info. So omit Schedule.
We also have Additional Information about duration (fixed term two years, potential to extend to 3 years). That could be placed under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Contract Details". But not in allowed headings. Could fold into About the role paragraph or Responsibilities? Probably include in About the role as extra detail.
We also have Lilly accommodation statement, EEO, ERGs - these are boilerplate to remove per instructions: remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we should remove those paragraphs.
We also have "Actual compensation will depend on a candidate’s education, experience, skills, and geographic location. The anticipated wage for this position is $58,000 - $123,200 Full-time equivalent employees also will be eligible for a company bonus (depending, in part, on company and individual performance). In addition, Lilly offers a comprehensive benefit program to eligible employees, including eligibility to participate in a company-sponsored 401(k); pension; vacation benefits; eligibility for medical, dental, vision and prescription drug benefits; flexible benefits (e.g., healthcare and/or dependent day care flexible spending accounts); life insurance and death benefits; certain time off and leave of absence benefits; and well-being benefits (e.g., employee assistance program, fitness benefits, and employee clubs and activities).Lilly reserves the right to amend, modify, or terminate its compensation and benefit programs in its sole discretion and Lilly’s compensation practices and guidelines will apply regarding the details of any promotion or transfer of Lilly employees."
We need to extract Pay and Benefits sections.
Pay: The anticipated wage range $58,000 - $123,200 plus mention of company bonus. We'll include that.
Benefits: list of benefits: 401(k), pension, vacation, medical/dental/vision/prescription drug, flexible benefits (healthcare/day care FSAs), life insurance, death benefits, time off/leave, well-being benefits (EAP, fitness, clubs). We'll put as - .
We must not include boilerplate like "Lilly reserves the right to amend..." maybe still part of benefits? It's a disclaimer; could be considered part of benefits but it's boilerplate. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is a legal disclaimer about compensation and benefit programs; might be considered legal boilerplate. Safer to omit that sentence. Keep only the substantive benefit list.
Also we have "Full-time equivalent employees also will be eligible for a company bonus (depending, in part, on company and individual performance)." That's part of Pay.
Now schedule: none.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll structure:

We must ensure we preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail.
Let's extract exact sentences.
About the role: Position Overview paragraph: "We are seeking a highly motivated, scientifically curious, and collaborative postdoctoral scientist to join the Global PKPD group working on developing Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) models. As a hands-on QSP scientist, you will work alongside experienced mentors and cross-functional teams to develop and apply AI-powered QSP models that integrate deep biological knowledge, pharmacology, and preclinical and clinical data to drive pivotal decisions in drug discovery and development."
Also we have earlier intro about Lilly mission etc. That could be considered part of About the role? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." The intro about Lilly is not a heading; we could include it in About the role as background. It's substantive. So we can combine the introductory paragraphs about Lilly mission, headquarters, etc., plus the Position Overview, plus the duration info (fixed term two years, potential to extend to 3 years, opportunities to apply for full-time positions after duration). We'll keep all that.
Let's capture the intro: "At Lilly, the work is demanding because patients are waiting. We unite caring with discovery to help make life better for people around the world, knowing that every decision, every detail, and every day matters. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, our over 50,000 employees around the globe take on complex challenges to discover and deliver life-changing medicines, strengthen how health is understood and managed, and support the communities we serve. This is hard, urgent, selfless work—but it’s work worth doing. If you’re driven by purpose and ready to bring your best to work that truly matters for patients, we invite you to join us. Eli Lilly and Company stands at the forefront of groundbreaking research, with a portfolio spanning small molecules, peptides, antibodies, genetic medicines, RNA therapeutics, and more. Our global PKPD group deploys a powerful suite of model-based approaches—including PBPK, PK/PD, QSP, and pharmacometrics—to shape decisions across this diverse portfolio from early discovery through clinical submission and beyond."
Then Position Overview paragraph as above.
Then Additional Information: "This position is not permanent. It is for a fixed duration of two years with potential to extend to 3 years. You will have opportunities to apply for full-time positions after your duration is complete"
We'll include that after Position Overview.
Now Responsibilities: list:
- Conduct systematic literature, regulatory, and database searches to compile relevant preclinical and clinical data needed to inform model design and parameterization.
- Design and implement an ODE-based QSP model structure that mechanistically captures the relevant drug pharmacokinetics, target/receptor biology, and cellular or physiological dynamics underlying the project's research question.
- Perform parameter estimation, model simulations and model analysis to inform drug discovery and/or development programs in a timely manner.
- Apply the validated model to generate quantitative insights that inform dosing strategies, risk stratification, or other translational and clinical development questions.
- Clearly communicate modeling results to technical and non-technical audiences; collaborate cross-functionally with relevant scientific groups.
- Maintain documentation of model development.
- Present findings at scientific conferences (e.g., ACoP, PAGE, ASCPT)
- Author high quality peer-reviewed scientific articles.
Note: The last two are separate bullet points but originally combined with semicolons? Actually they are: "Present findings at scientific conferences (e.g., ACoP, PAGE, ASCPT) Author high quality peer-reviewed scientific articles." Might be two separate bullets. We'll split.
Now Requirements (Basic Qualifications):
- PhD in quantitative pharmacology, systems biology, biomedical engineering, applied mathematics or related discipline
- Experience in developing QSP/mechanistic PKPD models or ODE-based models for biological system
- Experience with development of virtual patient populations
- Experience with R, Matlab/Simbiology, Python, NONMEM, Monolix or other related software for model development
- Experience with parameter estimation, sensitivity analysis
- Qualified applicants must be authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis.
- Lilly will not provide support for or sponsor work authorization or visas for this role, including but not limited to F-1 CPT, F-1 OPT, F-1 STEM OPT, J-1, H-1B, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, or L-1.
We need to keep all that. The last two sentences about work authorization are part of Requirements.
Now Skills (Additional Skills/Preferences):
- Knowledge in T cell engager bispecifics and immunology
- Understanding of PK/PD, pharmacology, drug discovery and development
- Enthusiasm for integrating AI/ML tools and emerging technologies into modeling workflows
- Strong problem solving skills both independently and collaboratively

Now Pay:
- The anticipated wage for this position is $58,000 - $123,200
- Full-time equivalent employees also will be eligible for a company bonus (depending, in part, on company and individual performance).
We'll combine into a paragraph maybe.
Now Benefits:
List:
- eligibility to participate in a company-sponsored 401(k)
- pension
- vacation benefits
- eligibility for medical, dental, vision and prescription drug benefits
- flexible benefits (e.g., healthcare and/or dependent day care flexible spending accounts)
- life insurance and death benefits
- certain time off and leave of absence benefits
- well-being benefits (e.g., employee assistance program, fitness benefits, and employee clubs and activities)
We should keep as list items.
Now we must not include boilerplate like Lilly's EEO, accommodation request, ERGs, legal disclaimer about amending compensation, etc. Also remove "Lilly is dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities..."
