Why Patients Need You
Pfizer’s purpose is to deliver breakthroughs that change patients’ lives. Research and Development is at the heart of fulfilling Pfizer’s purpose as we work to translate advanced science and technologies into the therapies and vaccines that matter most. Whether you are in the discovery sciences, ensuring drug safety and efficacy or supporting clinical trials, cutting-edge mass spectrometry accelerate and bring the best in class medicines to patients around the world.
What You Will Achieve
You will contribute to the development and application of state‑of‑the‑art mass spectrometry and proteomics technologies within Drug Safety R&D, supporting the understanding of drug candidate mechanisms of action and the characterization of safety profiles for novel therapeutics. Your work will help enable informed toxicology risk assessment and support portfolio decision‑making.
You will integrate protein biochemistry and bioanalytical workflows to design and execute complex sample preparation methods compatible with a wide range of protein mass spectrometry–based platforms. Through independent execution of experimental protocols and application of strong analytical rigor, you will generate high‑quality data across multiple portfolio projects.
In close collaboration with senior scientists and key stakeholders, you will contribute to the design of critical experiments, as well as to data analysis and interpretation. This role offers the opportunity to build meaningful experience in drug development and drug safety within a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment.

Sunshine Act
Pfizer reports payments and other transfers of value to health care providers as required by federal and state transparency laws and implementing regulations. These laws and regulations require Pfizer to provide government agencies with information such as a health care provider’s name, address and the type of payments or other value received, generally for public disclosure. Subject to further legal review and statutory or regulatory clarification, which Pfizer intends to pursue, reimbursement of recruiting expenses for licensed physicians may constitute a reportable transfer of value under the federal transparency law commonly known as the Sunshine Act. Therefore, if you are a licensed physician who incurs recruiting expenses as a result of interviewing with Pfizer that we pay or reimburse, your name, address and the amount of payments made currently will be reported to the government. If you have questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact your Talent Acquisition representative.
