Nurix Therapeutics is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of targeted protein degradation medicines, the next frontier in innovative drug design aimed at improving treatment options for patients with cancer and inflammatory diseases. Powered by a fully AI-integrated discovery engine capable of tackling any protein class, and coupled with unparalleled ligase expertise, Nurix’s dedicated team has built a formidable advantage in translating the science of targeted protein degradation into clinical advancements. Nurix aims to establish degrader-based treatments at the forefront of patient care, writing medicine’s next chapter with a new script to outmatch disease.

Position: The Senior Director of Clinical Pharmacology (CP) will oversee CP efforts across clinical development. As an early member of the CP function, you will have an opportunity to influence the direction of the CP function at Nurix. As a CP lead, you will provide subject matter expertise and program-level functional and operational leadership to the clinical development team(s) on all issues related to CP. You will develop and manage CP strategies including quantitative pharmacology plans and model-informed drug development strategies as appropriate (population analyses, exposure-response, PBPK, QSP, etc).

The successful applicant is proficient in the use of innovative methods to integrate knowledge of PK and PD to optimize posology for early and late-stage clinical trials while collaborating with clinicians, clinical operations, bioanalytical, biomarker, pharmacovigilance, regulatory, and CMC groups. In addition, this individual will work closely with the project team to create clinical development plans that include assessments of a drug’s efficacy, safety, commercial viability and fulfillment of registration requirements. This role requires strong communication and interpersonal skills and involves leading a team of scientists to develop and manage CP strategy for compounds from pre-clinical to post-marketing approval.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
