Use Your Power for Purpose At Pfizer, our purpose is to deliver breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. In this role, you will contribute to the discovery and advancement of innovative medicines for patients worldwide by applying rigorous science, modern pharmacology, and cutting-edge technologies. Your work will help transform promising therapeutic ideas into high-quality experimental data that enable confident decisions across the drug discovery process. What You Will Achieve A key strategic focus within the Internal Medicine Research Unit (IMRU) is the discovery of novel therapies for obesity, cardiovascular disease, and related cardiometabolic conditions. As an Associate Scientist in the In Vitro Pharmacology group, you will contribute to early drug discovery programs by generating rigorous, reproducible pharmacology data that support target validation, assay development, compound profiling, and mechanism-of-action studies. This role is well suited for a collaborative, hands-on scientist with experience in cell-based assay execution, mammalian cell culture, quantitative data analysis, and an interest in receptor pharmacology within cardiometabolic drug discovery. How You Will Achieve It Develop, optimize, and execute cell-based signaling, ligand-binding, and other in vitro pharmacology assays to generate high-quality data that support project decisions. Support compound profiling and mechanism-of-action studies through careful experimental design, troubleshooting, and quantitative data analysis. Maintain mammalian cell cultures and prepare fit-for-purpose cellular or membrane-based assay reagents to support screening, binding, and functional assay workflows. Apply core pharmacology concepts, including ligand potency, efficacy and affinity to interpret experimental results. Work collaboratively with pharmacology colleagues and cross-functional pr
