Position Summary:
Praxis is seeking a field-based Senior Medical Science Liaisons (MSL) to support prelaunch and launch activities. This role will focus on building trusted relationships with investigators and key stakeholders, delivering high-quality scientific exchange, and ensuring clinical and account readiness in advance of and following potential approval.
You will play a critical role in translating clinical data into meaningful insights for the field, educating healthcare professionals on disease state and emerging data, and identifying opportunities and barriers that may impact adoption. Working cross-functionally with Medical, Clinical Development, and Commercial teams, you will help shape and execute field strategy in a dynamic, fast-moving launch environment.
This is not a passive, reactive role – you are expected to operate with a high degree of ownership, proactively generate insights, and influence the field through credible, science-driven engagement.
We are open to hiring across levels and seek individuals who can operate independently in the field – whether developing into the role or already leading at a high level. Leveling will reflect experience, judgment, and the ability to drive impact in a prelaunch/launch setting.
Success in this role requires strong clinical credibility, excellent communication skills, strategic thinking, and comfort operating autonomously in a fast-paced environment.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Serve as the primary field-based scientific partner to investigators and key stakeholders, building trusted relationships to support prelaunch readiness and successful product adoption.
- Deliver high-quality scientific exchange on disease state, clinical data, and the ulixacaltimide profile, ensuring clear understanding of its potential role in treatment.
- Educate and prepare clinical sites and healthcare providers for launch, including patient identification, treatment considerations, and integration into clinical practice.
- Proactively gather, synthesize, and communicate field insights (e.g., treatment paradigms, barriers to adoption, unmet needs) to inform medical and cross-functional strategy.
- Identify and engage key opinion leaders (KOLs) and emerging influencers, supporting the development of advocacy and scientific engagement strategies.
- Partner cross-functionally with Medical, Clinical Development, Market Access, and Commercial teams to align on and execute field strategy.
- Represent Praxis at scientific congresses and advisory engagements, translating external insights into actionable recommendations.
- Maintain deep expertise in CNS/neurology, including evolving treatment landscapes and competitive developments, and apply insights to field strategy.
- Ensure all field activities are conducted in compliance with regulatory requirements, GCP standards (as applicable), and Praxis policies and SOPs.
Qualifications and Key Success Factors:
- Advanced clinical or scientific degree (PharmD, PhD, MD, NP, PA, or RN)
- Experience in medical affairs, clinical research, clinical care, or field-based roles within biotech/pharma
- Demonstrated ability to interpret and communicate complex scientific and clinical data with clarity and credibility to diverse stakeholders
- Strong ownership mindset with the ability to operate independently, navigate ambiguity, and drive impact in a dynamic, prelaunch/launch environment
- Proven ability to build and maintain trusted relationships with healthcare professionals, including investigators and key opinion leaders
- Experience gathering and translating field insights into actionable recommendations for cross-functional teams
- Ability to manage multiple priorities with strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through
- Willingness and ability to travel extensively (~60–80%) in a field-based role
- Experience in neurology or CNS disorders preferred
- Experience within market access/payor landscape is preferred
- Candidates with prior field-based experience and a demonstrated track record of independently driving scientific engagement, shaping clinical perspectives, and contributing to successful pre-launch and launch activities will be considered at a higher level.

Medical Science Liaison Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a medical science liaison in Texas?
The most common path into a medical science liaison role in Texas starts with an advanced clinical or scientific degree, typically a PharmD, MD, DO, or PhD in a life sciences discipline. Texas does not require a state-issued MSL license, but many employers expect active licensure in your clinical field if applicable. Candidates typically build relevant experience through clinical practice, postdoctoral research, or a medical affairs fellowship before transitioning into an MSL role.
How much do medical science liaisons make in Texas?
Medical science liaisons in Texas earn a median of about $99,450 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,380 for the lowest 10% to over $118,840 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire medical science liaisons in Texas?
Employers hiring medical science liaisons in Texas right now include サイネオス・ヘルス, Syneos Health Commercial Solutions, and Praxis Precision Medicines, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's concentration of major pharmaceutical headquarters and large academic medical centers means hiring activity remains consistent throughout the year rather than clustering around a single season.
Which Texas cities have the most medical science liaison jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Texas have the most medical science liaison openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its dense cluster of academic medical centers, cancer institutions, and pharmaceutical offices, while Dallas draws hiring from large biotech and device companies based in the Metroplex, and Austin's growing life sciences corridor has added a steady stream of openings in recent years.
Are there remote medical science liaison jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than many clinical roles, because medical science liaisons spend most of their time engaging healthcare professionals in the field rather than working from a fixed site. About 100% of medical science liaison openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how naturally the role fits a distributed work model. Scientific communication, data review, and internal collaboration tend to be the tasks most commonly performed remotely.
How can I get hired as a medical science liaison in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a formal MSL fellowship, and several large Texas-based pharmaceutical and biotech employers offer one- to two-year programs designed for clinicians or postdoctoral researchers making the transition. Roles such as clinical specialist, drug information pharmacist, or clinical research associate at Texas academic health systems like UT Southwestern, Houston Methodist, or Baylor St. Luke's build the therapeutic-area depth employers value. A completed PharmD or a postdoctoral credential in a high-demand area like oncology strengthens any application significantly.
Where can I find and apply to medical science liaison jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to medical science liaison jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings across pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device employers. Find the roles that fit your background and apply directly without creating an account or signing up.
