Pathologists

We are seeking veterinary pathologists to serve as Study Directors and Study Pathologists on studies that will mostly be of 13-weeks and longer duration and include carcinogenicity studies. The successful candidates must be a DVM and a Diplomate of the ACVP. A PhD degree is desirable.

Candidates will provide input on study design and provide descriptions and interpretive summaries of in-life, clinical pathology, gross, and histopathologic changes produced in laboratory and farm animals given new drug candidates. Candidates need to be able to integrate complex data and possess advanced problem-solving skills, strong scientific acumen, and excellent oral and written communication skills. Findings and interpretations will be presented in written and oral reports to peers, management, and regulatory agencies. Experience as a study director and study pathologist in a GLP-compliant environment within the pharmaceutical industry is an asset. The candidate will be expected to work closely with Drug Safety Evaluation colleagues at multiple Pfizer R&D sites in the U.S., Europe, and Japan.

The Kalamazoo, Michigan community has much to offer including:

  • Medium size mid-western community: Short commutes, excellent schools
  • Attractive housing costs with lake homes, homes on golf courses, and acreages readily available
  • Education, Sports, and Culture: Western Michigan University (26,000 students), 2.5 hours to downtown Chicago or Detroit
  • Outdoor Recreation: 40 minutes to sand beaches of Lake Michigan, many inland lakes, rivers and forests for fishing, boating, hunting, hiking, and winter snow sports (skiing, snowmobiles, etc)

At Pfizer Global Research & Development (PGRD), we build our success on the innovation, skills, and entrepreneurial spirit of each of our colleagues. As an integral member of our team, you'll find many opportunities to assert your professional independence as you generate results that will advance our ultimate goal of creating life-enhancing therapies. You'll also benefit from a wealth of resources, the support of an exceptional team, and the chance to work on some of the most exciting science and technology in the industry. The Kalamazoo site has excellent laboratory facilities for the conduct of rodent, dog, and primate studies and a research farm for the conduct of safety studies for large animal veterinary products.
