We offer two post-doctoral fellowship programs – the Regulatory Affairs Fellowship with Howard University and the Research & Early Development (RED) Fellowship – intended to facilitate a diverse pipeline of professionals in the biotech industry.
Our two fellowship programs offer early-career scientists the opportunity to grow their careers at BioMarin, while gaining a deeper understanding of the biopharmaceutical industry.
The fellowship programs also enable BioMarin’s scientific team to work with talented and diverse researchers to help advance our goal of bringing forward new medicines for people with genetic conditions.
These opportunities bring the brightest minds from the next generation of scientists to our campuses, allowing us to learn from each other.
Our Regulatory Affairs team is responsible for developing global science-based regulatory strategies, creating high-quality submissions and promoting positive interactions with regulatory authorities.
Participants in the Regulatory Affairs Fellowship program will spend up to two years completing rotations at Howard University and BioMarin. Fellows have the opportunity to advance their knowledge of research and design methods and clinical trials, sit on the Institutional Review Board, complete a teaching certificate and sit for the Regulatory Affairs Certification examination. In addition, fellows will gain on-the-job experience and participate in rotational assignments at BioMarin.
Applications for the 2026-2028 cohort will be accepted from Sept. 1 through Nov. 1, 2025 via the Howard University website. Contact the fellowship team at pharmacy.fellowship@howard.edu with questions.
Our RED organization identifies targets and biomarkers that underlie disease processes and applies this knowledge to design innovative medicines that aim to address unmet medical needs and improve outcomes and quality of life.
Our RED Fellowship is a two-year program in which fellows spend approximately 80% of their time gaining extensive exposure to and hands-on experience in first-choice research or translational sciences focus areas. Fellows work with mentors to develop research objectives and experimental plans that support shared interests and mutual benefit and have opportunities around publication, governance, strategy and project-based rotations.
Applications for the 2026-2028 cohort will be accepted on a rolling basis beginning Sept. 1, 2025. Check back here starting Sept. 1 for the link to apply.
