Learn more about the UCB Fellowship Program during their two informational webinars onSeptember 19th from8 p.m. to 9 p.m. EST and October 2nd from6 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST:

UCB is recruiting for four pharmaceutical industry training PharmD Fellowship Programs for the 2025-2027 term in Global Regulatory Affairs (GRA), Medical Safety and Pharmacovigilance (MS&PV), Medical Affairs – Immunology (MA), and Global Clinical Sciences & Operations (GCSO). The application period will open on September 9, 2024 and close on October 25, 2024.

  • The GRA Fellowship is a two-year rotational training program based in UCB’s US headquarters at the Atlanta, GA campus. The program will provide the PharmD Fellow with extensive experience within the various subfunctions of Regulatory Affairs (including regulatory strategy, advertising and promotion, labeling, and CMC) in a cross-functional global team environment. 
  • The MS&PV Fellowship is a two-year rotational training program based in either the Atlanta or Raleigh campus. This program will provide the PharmD Fellow with experience within the subfunctions of Patient Safety (including global case management, safety risk management, safety surveillance, safety writing, and international pharmacovigilance). 
  • The MA – Immunology Fellowship is a two-year rotational training program based in UCB’s US headquarters at the Atlanta, GA campus. The program will focus on opportunities to learn, experience, and lead various activities involved within the dynamic functions of a medical affairs organization (including medical affairs strategy, medical information, medical review, medical digital strategy, field medical and operations).
  • The GCSO Fellowship is a 2-year Fellowship based in RTP, NC. From planning, to execution, to reporting of clinical trials, the Fellow will gain first-hand experience in the execution of highly rigorous clinical studies with high quality, within ambitious timelines, and ultimately providing value to our patients. The program will provide the Fellow with rotational experiences in the multidisciplinary sub-functions of GCSO including Clinical Project Management, Clinical Data & Innovation, Medical Writing, and Strategic Clinical Partnering.  

Our fellowship program is a collaboration with the Industry Pharmacists Organization (IPhO) to offer the Fellow multiple teaching, leadership, and scholarly opportunities. Ultimately the Fellowships will provide the Fellows with the needed technical skills and competencies to become a “best in class” industry professional upon completion of the program. 

If a student is interested in applying, they can formally do so on the IPhO’s website, via their FellowMatch job portal (https://www.industrypharmacist.org/fm_landing.php).
