Scientist 1 in California

Position Summary Pfizer is seeking a highly motivated Scientist to join the In Vivo Pharmacology group within the Oncology Research Unit, with a focus on antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) programs. This role supports the execution of high-quality in vivo efficacy, pharmacodynamic, tolerability, and mechanistic studies that enable preclinical ADC discovery and development. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong technical capability in oncology animal models, careful attention to study details, and a commitment to animal welfare, compliance, and scientific rigor. The Scientist is expected to contribute as a reliable technical and scientific team member while developing increasing independence in study execution, data interpretation, and cross-functional collaboration. Position Responsibilities Execute in vivo oncology studies supporting ADC discovery programs using a variety of in vivo models including syngeneic, cell line-derived, and patient-derived xenograft models as appropriate. Perform routine and advanced in vivo procedures, including tumor measurements, body weight monitoring, test article administration, clinical observations, and sample collection. Support ADC pharmacology studies assessing efficacy, tolerability, pharmacodynamic biomarkers, dose-response relationships, schedule optimization, and combination strategies. Prepare, review, and follow study protocols, dosing schedules, randomization plans, and sample collection timelines in alignment with project goals and internal standards. Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant study records using electronic data capture systems and approved documentation practices. Coordinate with project line leads, vivarium operations, pathology, toxicology translational scientists, bioanalytical, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic teams, and external partners to enable efficient study execution.

Surrounded by extraordinary people, inspiring leaders, and world changing projects, you will do more and become more than you ever thought possible. Our team specializes in developing a fast and accurate platform called DRAGEN for the secondary analysis of NGS genomic data. The platform covers a wide range of pipelines spanning germline and somatic analysis (WGS and targeted; tumor/normal and tumor-only), DNA and RNA workflows, and variant classes including small variants, CNVs, and structural variants. We are looking for a highly driven and talented Staff Bioinformatics Scientist to join our methods development team to work on secondary analysis algorithms. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in computer science, algorithms, statistics, or digital signal processing in addition to expertise in genomics and next generation sequencing. The candidate should be a proven team player and will contribute to the production software codebase. This role will focus on software development for structural variant detection, pangenome references, graph-based algorithms, and NGS assembly methods. Responsibilities: Design, prototype, and implement innovative computational or statistical algorithms to extract meaningful biological signal from sequencing assays. Im
