Shape the future of oral drug development with AI-driven predictive science.
Pfizer Research & Development is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist with deep expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to advance the prediction of oral drug absorption and formulation performance. In this role, you will play a critical part in developing next-generation predictive models that help transform how drug products are designed, optimized, and translated into clinical success.
You will focus on building, evaluating, and interpreting advanced machine learning models using large, diverse datasets drawn from multiple scientific and clinical sources. Your work will emphasize scalability, interpretability, and real-world applicability ensuring that model outputs are not only technically robust but also scientifically meaningful and decision relevant. A key aspect of this role is the development of explainable modeling approaches, including physics-informed and mechanism-informed learning, to bridge data-driven insights with fundamental pharmaceutical science.
Through this work, you will directly contribute to enabling earlier, faster, and more confident decision-making across Pfizer's R&D portfolio. Your models will help inform formulation strategies, predict in vivo performance, and reduce uncertainty in the development process, ultimately accelerating the delivery of high-quality medicines to patients.
This position is embedded within the drug product design and supply (DPDS) organization, part of Pfizer's broader pharmaceutical sciences division. The role is based in Groton, Connecticut, or Cambridge, Massachusetts, and offers a highly collaborative environment where you will partner closely with interdisciplinary experts across digital & AI, clinical pharmacology, pharmacometrics, and other quantitative R&D teams. Together, you will integrate cutting-edge AI methodologies with deep domain expertise to solve complex challenges at the intersection of data science and drug development.
This position is part of the Pfizer Research & Development postdoctoral training program and offers:
