DMPK Consultant
Consulting Opportunity: DMPK Specialist About Edison Scientific Edison Scientific builds and commercializes AI agents for science. Scientific discovery moves too slowly, and autonomous AI agents are how we intend to fix that. We're assembling a team of top researchers and engineers across AI and biology to build an AI scientist. The Opportunity We're seeking an experienced DMPK Specialist for a flexible, part-time consulting engagement. You'll serve as our subject matter expert on the scientific integrity of our AI-generated DMPK outputs — covering PK analyses, ADME interpretations, human dose projections, and IND DMPK report sections. Your expertise will directly shape how our AI platform is trained and validated, with the potential to influence how DMPK is practiced across the AI industry. This engagement is designed to fit around existing commitments. This engagement is as-needed, part time with no fixed schedule or rigid hour requirements.
