Do you have experience of providing modelling and simulation expertise, on the integration of scientific models into a multi-agent environment?
This consulting opportunity is to support our client, a leading pharmaceutical organisation, in preparing scientific models for execution within a multi-agent framework. You will act as the technical expert for individual models, ensuring they are accessible, validated and ready for integration alongside the wider technology implementation.
The project needs a consultant who has:
- deep understanding of modelling and simulation methodologies
- hands-on experience of numerical analysis and scientific model development
- ability to understand and validate complex scientific models
- collaborative approach to working with multidisciplinary technical teams
Key services:
The key services that you will be asked to provide are:
- assess existing scientific models and determine the requirements for agent readiness
- identify and develop the access functions required for the multi-agent system to execute models
- produce evaluation and test datasets to support implementation and validation
- validate that integrated models behave consistently with the original scientific implementation
- provide subject matter expertise on individual models throughout integration activities
Mandatory Requirements:
Successful consultants will be able to demonstrate:
- experience in modelling and simulation or numerical analysis
- ability to understand and work with complex scientific models
- experience validating model outputs and behaviour
- ability to collaborate effectively with software engineering and IT teams
- excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
- experience within the pharmaceutical or life sciences sector
Optional Requirements:
It will also be advantageous if you have:
- a recent Master's degree or PhD in modelling and simulation or a closely related discipline
- experience supporting scientific modelling within collaborative research or engineering environments
- understanding of process modelling programming tools including Python, gPROMS and Aspen
