Clinical Pharmacology Internship
This internship program enables interns to gain experience in clinical pharmacology, drug development, and pharmacokinetics/quantitative pharmacology educating them on careers in the pharmaceutical or clinical research organization industries. In this role, the intern will have the opportunity to:
- Gain a deeper understanding of clinical pharmacology and pharmacokinetics concepts across various therapeutic areas
- Support the development and refinement of high-quality clinical pharmacology reports, summaries, and regulatory submissions
- Develop technical writing skills for translating complex scientific concepts into clear, concise, and impactful documents
- Acquire exposure to tools and software to analyze and visualize PK data
- Participate in internal clinical pharmacology initiatives to increase scientific rigor and efficiency across clinical pharmacology workflows
The ideal candidate should be a student in a Pharm.D., Ph.D., or M.D. university training program and possess scientific and analytical skills, strong written and verbal communication skills, good organizational abilities, and evidence of leadership, independence, and teamwork. A background in pharmacy is preferred.
Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics Fellowship
This postdoctoral fellowship program enables fellows to gain research expertise in drug development, quantitative pharmacology, and translational research while preparing them for careers as clinical pharmacologists or clinical pharmacokineticists in an industrial, academic, or regulatory setting. Fellows will first participate in clinical pharmacology and drug transport and metabolism studies with faculty at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, as well as enroll in advanced courses on PK/PD and clinical research methods.
In their second year, fellows will work at Allucent, applying state-of-the-art quantitative methodologies to drug development, such as conventional and population PK and PD analyses, exposure-response, and clinical trial simulations. Fellows will also contribute to the design and analysis of first-in-human, proof-of-concept, drug-drug interaction, or other clinical pharmacology studies and use advanced techniques as they participate in modeling and simulation efforts for quantitative decision-making.
The ideal candidate should have a Pharm.D., Ph.D., or M.D. and possess strong analytical skills, excellent written and verbal communication skills, good organizational abilities, and evidence of leadership, independence, and teamwork. A background in pharmacokinetics is preferred.
Fellows Program
Allucent’s long-established and extensive fellows program provides rigorous, comprehensive training in all areas of regulatory and pharmaceutical product development. Over the course of 12 months, fellows participate in course work, interactive learning, and on-the-job training in regulatory and medical writing, program management, nonclinical, chemistry, manufacturing and controls, and drug development strategies. Fellows receive valuable exposure and experience while learning under the guidance and mentorship of an experienced regulatory scientist. All fellows are assigned a mentor and receive additional support and guidance from Allucent scientists, former health authority regulators, and industry experts. Coursework and interactive learning consist of master classes given by Allucent’s leading subject-matter experts and opportunities to attend all in-house trainings on topics such as Regulatory Affairs, Medical Writing, Program Management, Clinical Trial Monitoring, Clinical Pharmacology, Biostats, Clinical Trial Operations, and Strategies in Drug Development. Fellows are employed in the role of “Scientist” as full time Allucent employees, and are eligible for all benefits available at Allucent. This includes a competitive salary package, and generous medical benefits program. At the completion of the year-long program, successful fellows are eligible for a promotion to a “Scientist I” position.
