There will be two CQP summer internship positions available with the opportunity to work with experienced mentors within CQP.
A Vertex CQP summer internship will provide a 12-week hands-on opportunity to experience some of the elements of CQP within drug development. Based on the project, an intern may participate in numerous activities, such as design and conduct of clinical pharmacology studies (e.g., first-in-human, drug interaction, food effect, special populations, ADME), or exploration of drug pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationships and related analyses (e.g. population PK or other advanced modeling). Activities the successful candidate may be involved in include literature research, drafting and reviewing clinical study protocols, reviewing clinical study report sections, creating analysis plans, learning to manipulate and create clinical analysis-ready datasets, build and evaluate models, execute analyses, and prepare informative outputs, graphics, and results representations.
During the 12-week appointment, the summer intern will also be exposed to various aspects of the drug development process and thereby gain a view into how the CQP functions fit within broader cross-functional drug development teams that often include preclinical disciplines, clinical development, clinical operations, bioanalysis, biostatistics, and more. Not only will interns learn about their day-to-day responsibilities, but they will interact with scientists from various levels, and with organizational leaders and their teams through a series of Professional Development Workshops that are provided during the summer.
Clinical and Quantitative pharmacology activities may include the following (project dependent):
Research literature, published studies, and regulatory guidance
Learn to work with and manipulate clinical data and data constructs
Analyses of data collected from literature or clinical trial PK and/or PK/PD data in NONMEM, R and/or related software
Summarize the main findings
