Applications are being accepted for postdoctoral fellowships in the Pharmaceutical Health Services Research (PHSR) Department at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy.

Fellowships are available starting July 1, 2010, although earlier start dates may be considered for some positions.

Training includes individualized coursework in pharmacoeconomics and health services research, and mentored research experiences under the direction of PHSR faculty.

At the completion of their fellowships, the successful candidates will be prepared for positions in academia, government, the managed care or pharmaceutical industries.
