When do discoveries become miracles?

At Pfizer Global Research & Development (PGRD), Pfizer’s visionary discovery and development division and the largest pharmaceutical research & development organization in the world, we’re not content waiting to witness the evolution of our industry. Instead, we’re driven by science, building on our current successes and capabilities, playing a critical role in developing the most compelling story of scientific discoveries.

Our emphasis on innovation has brought to market a wide range of ground-breaking medicines, such as Lipitor® (atorvastatin calcium), Zithromax® (AZITHROMYCIN), Viracept® (nelfinavir mesylate), Zoloft® (sertraline hydrochloride), Viagra® (sildenafil citrate), and our newest smoking cessation medicine, Chantix® (varenicline). And, today, with a broad research pipeline that spans many therapeutic areas, we are determined to bring even more cures to the marketplace.

But there is much more work to be done and we can’t do it alone. That’s why we’re always seeking those who share our belief that science can improve our world, that by working together we can bring exciting new therapies to patients on a global scale and forever change the way we improve the health and well-being of all people.

Currently, we are seeking the following:
