Fellowship Opportunity
REGULATORY SCIENCE – BROAD CALL
Summary
The Harvard Program in Therapeutic Science (HiTS) invites applications for a fellowship position at the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science (CRS). The fellow will join a cohort of highly motivated Regulatory Science Fellows with diverse backgrounds and expertise to conduct interdisciplinary research with broad applications to medicine and public health and contribute to a thriving regulatory science community.
For this position, the fellow will work with faculty at Harvard Medical School, Harvard-Affiliated Hospitals or MIT, and benefit from interactions and collaborations with FDA scientists on a project-specific basis.
Unique aspects of this fellowship program include:
- Access to FDA scientists and collaborations on FDA projects
- Participation in an established multi-disciplinary community, enabling educational experiences and research activities outside of a single field of expertise
- Access to clinicians and investigators at multiple large healthcare centers, providing opportunities for research projects with direct medical applications
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Individuals with doctoral degrees (MD, PhD, PharmD, JD, or equivalent) with training or experience in a relevant field such as pharmacoepidemiology, biostatistics, epidemiology, regulatory law, health policy, or pharmacoeconomics
Course
The FDA and Prescription Drugs: Current Controversies in Context
This free, self-paced, six-session online course will cover pharmaceutical product development, approval, marketing, and costs, as well as an overview of FDA and the major issues affecting regulatory approval and evidence-based use of prescription drugs.
