The Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy offers graduate and postdoctoral training programs to prepare clinical and translational scientists for careers in academia, the pharmaceutical industry, and regulatory agencies. They believe that the pharmacy profession continues to present unparalleled opportunities for Pharm.D.-trained scientists.
UNC’s Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences graduate program has been training students in clinical and translational research for over 15 years. In addition, the UNC-Duke Collaborative Clinical Pharmacology T32 Postdoctoral Training Program prepares clinician-scientists for independent academic, industrial, or regulatory careers in clinical pharmacology, with an emphasis in precision dosing and understudied areas including pediatrics and drug safety.
UNC seeks qualified Pharm.D. or Ph.D. students who have an interest in pursuing advanced training in clinical and translational research in our graduate program or T32 training program. For more information about the programs they offer, students can visit the website (https://pharmacy.unc.edu/divisions/dpet/), which includes information on both programs. A PhD program informational webinar recording is available, as well as information on an upcoming Grad Student Life Panel on November 3rd at 8 pm Eastern time on the graduate program page (https://pharmacy.unc.edu/education/phd/drug-optimization/phd-program/).
For specific questions, interested students are welcome to contact Dr. Julie B. Dumond (jdumond@unc.edu) regarding the Ph.D. program and Dr. Daniel Gonzalez (gonzald@unc.edu) for the T32 fellowship program.
