Full Job Description
At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our employees around the world work to discover and bring life-changing medicines to those who need them, improve the understanding and management of disease, and give back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. We give our best effort to our work, and we put people first. We’re looking for people who are determined to make life better for people around the world. Position Overview: Eli Lilly and Company is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scientist in CNS Neuroimaging to join the Drug Delivery and Connected Systems (DDCS) group. This role will support CNS therapeutic development by applying multimodal neuroimaging and quantitative data analytics across discovery and translational research programs. The successful candidate will play a critical role in enabling data‑driven decision making for CNS drug delivery strategies through the management, analysis, and interpretation of complex neuroimaging datasets derived from preclinical and in vivo studies. Imaging modalities may include MRI, CT, PET, optical imaging, and other emerging techniques relevant to CNS exposure, biodistribution, target engagement, and neurobiological response. This scientist will work closely with internal experts in neuroscience, drug delivery, genomics, and biodistribution, as well as with external CRO partners, to optimize imaging strategies, ensure data quality, and translate imaging outputs into actionable biological and therapeutic insights. This postdoctoral position offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of CNS therapeutics, multimodal neuroimaging, and quantitative data science within a leading pharmaceutical research organization. The role provides direct exposure to translational decision‑making, complex CNS drug delivery challenges, and cross‑functional scientific collaboration. There
