About the Opportunity

Northeastern University Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowships Program is a two-year experiential program designed to advance lifelong learning and the education and training of Pharm.D. graduates. A key element of the program’s success is preparing Fellows to meet evolving workforce needs across various sectors of the pharmaceutical industry.

Fellows have the opportunity to work closely with our innovative biopharmaceutical industry partners, while engaging with Northeastern University faculty in professional and career development, teaching, service, and scholarly activities.

In partnership with Northeastern University, Dompé is offering a two-year fellowship in Global Medical Affairs - Real-World Evidence & Health Economics and Outcomes Research (RWE/HEOR), based remotely.

About Dompé 

Dompé is an Italian bio-pharmaceutical company that focuses on innovation, where a long tradition in the field of personal wellness goes hand-in-hand with a commitment to research and development to meet unsatisfied therapeutic needs. Established in 1940 in Milan, Dompé has a manufacturing hub in L’Aquila, and offices in Naples, Italy, and Tirana, Albania. The company has approximately 1,000 employees. The US headquarters of Dompé is based in San Mateo, CA, in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Pharmacy Postdoctoral Fellow will join the Real-World Evidence / Health Economics and Outcomes Research (RWE/HEOR) team for a two-year commitment, where they will be immersed in a variety of Global Medical Affairs activities. Year 1 is a dedicated immersion in RWE/HEOR, with experience in integrated evidence generation plan (IEGP) development, RWE generation, HEOR strategy and analytics, health technology assessment, value dossier development, and payer engagement. Year 2 consists of two 6-month rotations in Global Medical Affairs functions, selected from: Medical Engagement Strategy, Medical Communications, Medical Information & Operations, Patient Advocacy, and Field Medical. Throughout Year 2, the fellow will continue to dedicate approximately 25% of their time to the RWE/HEOR team, with the remaining time devoted to the active rotation. The fellow will also have the opportunity to learn about various industry functions such as Research & Development (Clinical Development, Clinical Operations, Biostatistics), Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, or the Commercial Organization through longitudinal projects.  The fellow will also have the opportunity to attend Medical Congresses.  Rotations may be extended at the discretion of the rotation supervisor. Other rotations can be arranged based on availability and interest of the fellow.
