POST-DOCTORAL PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY FELLOWSHIP – Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, has over 40 years of expertise in offering innovative Post-Doctoral Pharm.D. Fellowships that provide extensive training in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry. This 2-year Fellowship position is a joint effort between the Rutgers Institute for Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowships (RPIF) and Bristol Myers Squibb. Program emphasis is in Global Drug Development (GDD) which is responsible for developing new medicines for the treatment of various diseases worldwide. This 2-year fellowship provides a unique opportunity for fellows within GDD to function as Associate Clinical Scientists (CS) and will focus on the science and strategy of drug development. The Fellows will learn various aspects of global clinical studies (Phases I-III) including study development and start-up, conduct, and closure activities.
Global Drug Development Fellowship Objectives:
- Understand the key foundations of clinical trial development and how they relate to the overall drug development process (i.e. study design, selecting study endpoints, randomization/stratification, control, blinding, selection of population, and study assessments)
- Become a proficient CS and effective cross-functional study team contributor throughout the clinical trial process by learning to write and review study protocols and protocol amendments, informed consent forms, patient narratives, clinical study reports (CSR), Investigator Brochures (IB), Investigational New Drug (IND) safety updates, Development Safety Update Report (DSUR), and other regulatory submission documents.
- Working closely with the CS’s, CTP’s (Clinical Trial Physician), and study team in making study specific recommendations, providing clinical research expertise, presenting protocol specific topics, responding to health authority requests, engaging with investigator sites’ personnel to address inquiries and resolve issues, and supporting the team at various therapeutic area conferences.
- Support the study team in comprehensive clinical data review and analysis via available data review tools such as patient profiles, data review reports, and data listings.
- Partner with Clinical Operations, Data Management, Statistics, Drug Safety, Regulatory, Clinical Pharmacology, Medical and Commercial teams to support the scientific aspects of clinical development.
University-based experiences complement the industry experiences and include a Professional Development Series; opportunities for collaborative research, publication, and teaching; and participating/leading Rutgers Fellowship committees. These Fellowships provide a broad professional development opportunity in both corporate and academic environments to promote the role of Pharm.D.’s in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry and help fuel your career as a future leader.
