Program On Regulation, Therapeutics, And Law (PORTAL)
The Program On Regulation, Therapeutics, And Law (PORTAL) in the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics at Brigham & Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School invites its 2024 round of applications for postdoctoral fellows in pharmaceutical law and health services research. Current and past fellows have studied FDA regulation, patents, drug access and costs, and competition in the therapeutic marketplace. Other areas of focus include the relationship between intellectual property and drug costs and availability, ethical issues affecting the pharmaceutical market, drug comparative effectiveness, as well as the development, approval, and evidence-based use of drugs, devices, vaccines, and diagnostics.
Applications are invited from researchers with doctoral degrees (J.D., M.D., Ph.D., Pharm.D., or equivalent) or who will complete such training by July 2024. Fellows will have an appointment at Harvard Medical School, receive close mentorship from faculty members in PORTAL and the Division, and engage in projects intended to start their careers in law and public health. Fellows have been successful in transitioning to jobs in academia (medicine, law, public health), government, and private practice. Fellowship length will vary depending on the candidate (minimum: 1 year).
The deadline is January 5, 2024. To apply, please send to PORTAL research coordinator Matt Martin (mmartin55@bwh.harvard.edu): (1) a CV, (2) a writing sample, and (3) a cover letter describing your past work, ideas for the kind of research you’d like to do in the fellowship, and career goals.
The Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics is an approximately 90-member interdisciplinary research center. Our work focuses on the evaluation, regulation, outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of prescription drugs and medical devices, as well as the development and evaluation of policies to improve use of therapeutics.
Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School are Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employers; women and members of underrepresented minority groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
