UNC/GSK Postdoctoral Fellowship in Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics
The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) offers a two-year
post-doctoral fellowship in pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD). The
Fellowship emphasizes coursework and hands-on experience focused on the
application of population and physiologically-based PK/PD modeling and
simulation techniques to guide drug development. Fellows spend their first year
at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the second year at GSK
research facilities.
At the completion of the Fellowship, the post-doctoral fellow will be able to:
* Describe the importance of clinical research in drug development;
* Describe the nature and relevance of clinical data evaluations relative
to drug development;
* Design and implement studies to examine drug absorption, drug
disposition, pharmacodynamic endpoints and drug interactions in healthy human
volunteers or diseased patient populations;
* Understand foundational concepts related to population PK/PD and
physiologically-based PK modeling and simulation techniques;
* Understand important considerations in clinical trial design and the
conduct of clinical investigations in specific patient populations (e.g.,
pediatrics);
* Perform PK/PD and statistical data analysis using relevant software
packages;
* Prepare a manuscript, seminar and other scholarly vehicles for
communication of scientific results.
Requirements: minimum of a PharmD, MD, or PhD with knowledge of PK/PD analyses.
Excellent communication skills and ability to work independently as well as a
member of an interdisciplinary team are essential. Additional information is
