Our employees around the world work to discover and bring life-changing medicines to those who need them, improve the understanding and management of disease, and give back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. We give our best effort to our work, and we put people first. We're looking for people who are determined to make life better for people around the world.
When it comes to research and development, our goal is to discover and deliver innovative medicines that make life better for people around the world. It's challenging, expensive and often filled with failure. But even when we fail, we advance medical science and understanding by learning more about diseases, biology and chemistry - ultimately bringing new solutions one step closer to reality.
Over the course of our history, we have shed light on some of the toughest health care problems known to man - diabetes, heart disease, infectious diseases, neuroscience disorders, cancer and more. We could not pursue this without our research and development team.
Postdoctoral scientists help us continue this pursuit. During your experience you will get:
Top industry research experience
Mentoring by some of Lilly's top scientists
Laboratory and classroom training and education to further your development (as needed)

We are seeking an ambitious post-doctoral scientist with strong research and communication skills to contribute to the advancement of machine learning (ML)-based approaches for identifying risk factors associated with key safety topics.
Purpose of the Job
In this role, you will utilize innovative ML and rare event modeling techniques to investigate risk factors and protective factors associated with serious or severe drug adverse events that have not been extensively studied to date. The initial focus will be on neuroscience, with the methodology subsequently extended to other critical events and therapeutic areas. This work will enhance our understanding of the drivers behind these safety concerns and strengthen our ability to evaluate the benefit-risk profile of investigational and marketed therapies.
This work will support the activities of the Global Patient Safety (GPS) Medical organization which characterizes and communicates the safety profile of Lilly medicines, assesses benefit-risk, and plans and measures risk minimization measures across Lilly's portfolio. GPS Medical partners with the business units, Global Scientific Communication, Global Regulatory Affairs, Statistics, and other functions to develop clinical plans, influence study protocol design, conduct medical surveillance, and more. Analysis of safety data is key to achieving these goals; therefore, the Advanced Intelligence group is another key partner liaising with GPS Medical. Advanced Intelligence leverages advanced statistical capabilities (including ML and other types of artificial intelligence) to enhance safety data analysis.
The main expected outcome of this project is the generation of scientific data revealing new clinical insights into risk factors driving adverse events of special interest for key Lilly products. Further, the methodology will be adapted to other compounds both in development and in the market. These findings offer strong potential for publication in high-impact peer-reviewed journals, advancing scientific understanding of disease processes and benefiting stakeholders across industry, government, and academia.
The candidate will develop key skills in pharmacovigilance and safety science (particularly with respect to novel methodologies), have extensive professional networking opportunities via collaborations with colleagues in Medical, Statistics, Toxicology, and Advanced Intelligence, gain experience in the pharmaceutical industry at multiple lifecycle stages, and leverage opportunities to share findings with the external scientific community.
Key Objectives
ML-Based Risk Factor Modeling
Develop and validate ML models to predict safety outcomes in the medical domain including adverse events, complications, or treatment-related risks by identifying risk factors such as patient histories, concomitant medications, imaging, and other clinical parameters. Employ advanced techniques including ensemble methods, resampling strategies, cost-sensitive learning, and anomaly detection to address rare event prediction and improve model robustness.
External Scientific Communication
Present findings at conferences and publish in high-impact peer-reviewed journals.
Safety Surveillance Improvement
Understand current medical surveillance and signal management processes. Leverage enhanced understanding of adverse events of special interest for Lilly medicines to explore improvements to routine medical surveillance. Make recommendations on integration and standardization of new methodologies into existing safety data analysis platforms and processes to improve consistency and accuracy of data review across Lilly products.
Internal and External Collaboration
Communicate effectively with relevant internal business partners. Collaborate with early phase medicine and business unit teams and Regulatory Scientists as part of issue management and in preparation of responses to requests made by regulatory authorities. Share findings and collaborate on methodologies with Advanced Intelligence. Collaborate with external partners and participate in key external initiatives to benefit the organization.
Global Patient Safety Support
Demonstrate knowledge of relevant global regulatory requirements and practices. Act as subject matter expert in the development and maintenance of safety quality system documents and training tools. Provide medical support to GPS safety teams. Demonstrate understanding of the roles and responsibility of the EU QPPV. Support audit readiness. Identify areas of key need across clinical development and champion creative solutions to address those needs.

Chemistry Research Intern
Indiana Biosciences Research Institute
Graduate research assistant job in Indianapolis, IN
IBRI: Unique. And Uniquely Successful.
The Indiana Biosciences Research Institute (IBRI) stands alone in the life sciences ecosystem - a first-in-class translational medicine institute built to transform how discoveries move from the lab bench to the patient bedside.
Unlike traditional research organizations or commercial biotech accelerators, IBRI was designed from inception to unite what others have long kept apart: academic research, early-stage biotech, and industry execution. We are the connective tissue between inquiry and impact - a collaborative engine accelerating cures and reshaping how innovation happens.
Backed by industry leaders, investors, and philanthropic partners, IBRI curates and supports emerging biotech ventures with the capital, talent, and infrastructure they need to move faster and think bolder. Our home inIndiana offers a powerful advantage - the ability to direct more resources to science, not overhead - accelerating progress while lowering barriers to discovery.
Our labs work at the frontiers of diabetes, metabolic disease, Alzheimer's, and rare pediatric conditions - fields where unmet need demands both rigor and imagination. IBRI's public-private model creates a fertile space where great science can mature without the premature commercial pressures that often derail true breakthroughs.
And those breakthroughs are happening here.
When IBRI innovations reach clinical readiness, intellectual property is spun out or sold back to industry, creating a continuous revenue stream that fuels the next wave of discovery. The model sustains itself - rewarding scientists, investors, and donors alike while delivering what matters most: therapies that change lives.
After a decade of measurable progress, IBRI's model has proven what's possible when collaboration, creativity, and capital converge with purpose. We are not simply advancing translational medicine - we are redefining it. IBRI is more than a research institute. It's a movement - one uniquely successful in transforming the way science becomes solutions, and solutions become cures.
