U.S. PharmD Fellowships

UCB, in collaboration with the Industry Pharmacists Organization (IPhO), offers two-year fellowship programs with the opportunity to learn and gain experience within the biopharmaceutical industry under the mentorship of experienced preceptors:
 

• Global Regulatory Affairs

• Patient Safety

The fellowships at UCB offers a unique opportunity to work in an environment that is patient-focused, creative, flexible, and agile, with an exciting and promising pipeline. 

The Global Regulatory Affairs was established in 2017 with a vision to grow top regulatory talent for the future. The fellowship, a collaboration with the Industry Pharmacists Organization (IPhO), is a 2-year rotational program located at UCB’s Atlanta campus, which is in the suburb of Smyrna. The rotations through the various sub-functions of Regulatory Affairs aim to provide the Fellows with the depth and breadth of experience with all aspects of Regulatory Affairs. The Fellows will also have an opportunity for a four-month elective rotation in an area outside of Regulatory to gain additional insights from the outside in. During the rotations in Regulatory Affairs, the Fellows will be assigned to work with the Regulatory Science Lead for one or more compounds, including pipeline and marketed products, ensuring that the chosen project will provide the greatest learning opportunity and exposure to FDA and other global regulatory health authorities.

• UCB PharmD Fellows Have a Big Impact on Patients
• PharmD Fellows Experience It All with UCB’s Fellowship Program

The Patient Safety Fellowship is a 2-year program located at the U.S. Headquarters in Smyrna, Georgia (a suburb of Atlanta) or Research Triangle Park in Durham-Raleigh, North Carolina. Although the role is U.S. based, the safety fellow will interact with cross-functional global teams for exposure to global safety strategies.

The fellowship will include rotations within the various sub-functions of Patient Safety, with the additional
opportunity for a four-month elective rotation in an area outside of safety prior to completing the fellowship. These rotations will provide the safety fellow with ample opportunity for exposure to and experience with all aspects of patient safety. The final four months of the fellowship will allow the safety fellow to choose a specific rotation (e.g. Clinical Development), to gain additional insights from the outside in.

The fellowship positions may only be applied for through the IPhO FellowMatch service:
