Senior Scientist, In Vivo Cardiovascular-Renal Disease Full-time

Cardiovascular Scientist

The in vivo pharmacology group is seeking a highly motivated, early-career cardiovascular scientist to join our Cardiovascular-renal-metabolism (CRM) team in Ridgefield, CT. This role will focus on hands-on assessment of cardiovascular function in preclinical (rodent) models, with emphasis on invasive hemodynamics and/or small-animal echocardiography. This role offers the opportunity to lead from the bench initially and grow into scientific, project, and people leadership while advancing transformative therapies for cardio-renal-metabolic patients.

The Cardiovascular-Renal-Metabolic Diseases Research (CRMDR) team in Ridgefield, CT has delivered 7 first-in-class therapeutics into clinical development in the last decade, with multiple clinical proof of concepts in recent years. Looking ahead, our research focuses on the interconnected cardiovascular-renal-metabolic space by leveraging multidisciplinary project teams, academic collaborations, and strong partnership with CRMDR colleagues in Biberach, Germany. Our success is driven by our people and culture, with a commitment to building rewarding scientific careers alongside novel therapies.

As an employee of Boehringer Ingelheim, you will actively contribute to the discovery, development and delivery of our products to our patients and customers. Our global presence provides opportunities for all employees to collaborate internationally, offering visibility and opportunity to directly contribute to the companies' success. We realize that our strength and competitive advantage lie with our people. We support our employees in several ways to foster a healthy working environment, meaningful work, diversity and inclusion, mobility, networking and work-life balance. Our competitive compensation and benefit programs reflect Boehringer Ingelheim's high regard for our employees.
