About The Position

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for professionals experienced in pharmaceutical research, drug discovery, translational science, clinical development, regulatory documentation, CMC workflows, and structured pharma R&D processes. This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on structured pharmaceutical research review, clinical development workflow analysis, regulated R&D documentation, study protocol assessment, biomarker and pharmacology review, regulatory materials, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply their pharma, biotech, or academic research expertise to review realistic R&D scenarios, evaluate documentation requirements, prepare structured written outputs, and support accurate, evidence-based pharmaceutical research workflow tasks.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in pharmaceutical research, biotech research, drug discovery, translational science, clinical development, regulatory affairs, CMC, pharmacovigilance, HEOR, or academic biomedical research.
Background in one or more areas such as target identification, medicinal chemistry, biology, HTS, DMPK, PK/PD, toxicology, biomarkers, clinical development, biostatistics, clinical operations, regulatory affairs, CMC, real-world evidence, or pharmacovigilance.
Familiarity with pharma R&D tools and platforms such as Medidata Rave, Oracle Clinical One, Schrödinger Suite, MOE, Benchling, LabArchives, electronic lab notebooks, clinical data systems, or related research systems.
Comfort reading and preparing pharma research artifacts such as study protocols, investigator brochures, IND/NDA/BLA materials, pharmacology reports, biomarker analyses, CMC reports, DMC briefing documents, and research summaries.
Strong analytical thinking and written communication skills.
Ability to translate pharmaceutical R&D workflows into clear, structured task documentation.

Nice To Haves

Experience in pharma, biotech, academic medical centers, clinical research organizations, regulated R&D environments, or major biomedical research programs.

Industry fellowship training, clinical research certification, regulatory affairs certification, or related specialized training is helpful.
Strong attention to detail in scientific, regulated, and documentation-heavy research environments.

Responsibilities

Review pharmaceutical research scenarios involving target identification, medicinal chemistry, biology workflows, high-throughput screening, DMPK, PK/PD, toxicology, and biomarker analysis.
Evaluate research materials against source documents, study requirements, experimental rationale, data outputs, and documented scientific criteria.
Support structured review of pharmacology reports, biomarker analyses, preclinical documentation, translational research materials, and lab workflow records.
Identify missing assumptions, documentation gaps, scientific inconsistencies, and expected research review outcomes.
Review clinical development scenarios involving study protocols, investigator brochures, Phase I–IV materials, clinical operations workflows, statistical outputs, and study documentation.
Evaluate clinical materials against required sections, source materials, study objectives, endpoint definitions, and operational requirements.
Support structured review of DMC briefing documents, clinical study reports, protocol summaries, clinical operations files, and study-related documentation.
Prepare clear written explanations for clinical development decisions based on source materials and verifiable criteria.
Review regulatory and CMC scenarios involving IND, NDA, BLA, EMA materials, CMC technical reports, quality documentation, safety materials, and submission workflows.
Support structured review of real-world evidence, HEOR, pharmacovigilance, regulatory affairs, and CMC documentation.
Work with materials connected to platforms such as Medidata Rave, Oracle Clinical One, Schrödinger Suite, MOE, Benchling, LabArchives, or similar pharma R&D systems.
Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work.
