The Pharmacologist will work in conjunction with the 3D Graphic Designers to produce 3D medical animations that are engaging and visually appealing.
In addition, the Pharmacologist creates case studies for each study, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the clinical trial protocol. These case studies play a significant role in the Firecrest Protocol Overview training module.
Our team is looking for highly literate, creative and meticulous professionals who will be able to create content and storyboards related to disease pathophysiology and drug mechanisms of action, for our high-quality training products.
In addition, the Pharmacologist will focus on continuous improvement, helping to identify potential product improvements and innovative approaches to the design and development of training products within Firecrest.
