Any big pharma directors here happy to chat? I'm a postdoc and was suggested to apply to Sr/principal scientist or asso. med. dir. positions. I'd be excited for positions that straddle research & clinical trial development but job postings seem to be on either end. I want to look at data and draw decisions like go to trial or not. Need some insight on org. structure and how to go about finding a good fit? If it help, looking for north east positions. TIA!

In my experience, a principal scientist does not make the decision to go to trial or not. They present the data and upper leadership makes the call, as often it is purely a financial decision. Part of working for big pharma is being okay with this.

Curious what the role of clinical scientist in AbbVie or Merck.

Look into business Development. Many top pharmas like Merck, Pfizer, Novartis, BMS, JnJ, Sanofi, etc rely on internal and external innovation. If you want to call shots (without developing something), external innovation may be a calling for you!

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job
