Medical Writing Fellowship Program

Back in 2018, representatives of our legacy company, Impact Pharmaceutical Services, launched a Medical Writing Fellowship Program. We are proud to say that this program continues today.

The Medical Writing Fellowship Program is for professionals who are looking to gain experience in the medical/regulatory writing field. Fellows will be exposed to a variety of regulatory documents related to the clinical development of investigational and marketed drugs and biologics.

Program Description
This full-time fellowship program spans approximately 9 months (March-December) of each calendar year and hosts 2 to 4 fellows per class. Accepted fellows will receive a competitive salary and our standard benefit package during this fellowship.

Over the course of the fellowship, fellows will:

• Collaborate with Syner-G colleagues and provide medical writing support in the preparation of scientific and regulatory documents related to the clinical development of investigational and marketed drugs and biologics.
• Perform quality control review of various documents.
• Participate in in-house seminars and other training opportunities.
• Foster a positive, collaborative, and respectful work environment.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Depending on the availability of open positions and the candidate’s ability and interest, participation in the Medical Writing Fellowship Program will also enter the candidate into our eligibility pool of potential hires.

Potential Applicants

We are seeking applicants with a demonstrated expertise in scientific writing (e.g., manuscripts, grants, or other scientific communications). An advanced degree (e.g., MS, PharmD, PhD, or MD) in life or health science is preferred; however, no medical writing experience is required. An individual with an undergraduate or master’s degree in life or health sciences who has significant writing experience may also be considered.

Potential applicants should be able to demonstrate the following skills:

• Ability to analyze and interpret scientific data and exhibit sound technical skills.
• Ability to learn, interpret, and follow Syner-G and Sponsor policies and procedures, including SOPs and regulatory agency regulations.
• Willingness to learn medical, pharmaceutical, and clinical research concepts.
• Excellent attention to detail, ensuring accuracy and quality in the performance of all duties.
• Strong planning, organization, and problem-solving skills. Excellent time management skills and ability to meet deadlines.
• Strong written and oral (including interpersonal) communication skills, including thorough knowledge of the rules of grammar, sentence construction and paragraphing in a scientific context.
• Computer experience (e.g., Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
• Ability to work effectively in a team setting in a multicultural environment, including productive collaborations with Sponsor representatives and Syner-G colleagues.
• Ability to be flexible, multitask, work in a deadline-driven, fast-paced environment, and adapt to changing priorities and deadlines.
• Ability to work in a remote capacity with limited supervision.

To apply to the fellowship, please submit a current CV with cover letter by 31 October to erin.peters@synergbiopharma.com. Your cover letter should address your ambitions, interests, abilities, what you hope to accomplish with this fellowship, and how you think you could contribute to our organization. If your background and interests are in line with those required for the fellowship program, our hiring team will arrange a phone screen to discuss the program and answer questions.
