Candidates should set up their applicant account and begin submitting materials immediately after the Midyear Meeting to enhance their opportunities for being selected for a fellowship. The required application materials include the Program Interest Form, Letter of Interest, Curiculum Vitae, and three letters of recommendation. After setting up your account please follow these steps:
- Complete the online Program Interest Form, selecting the fellowship programs based on your interests and experiences at Midyear.
- Immediately upon returning from Midyear, write and electronically submit your Letter of Interest stating the fellowship programs you would like to apply to. There is no limit to the number of programs you may express interest in, however, try to be sincere about your interests. Generally, companies do not pursue candidates who have not expressed an interest in them.
- Obtain three general letters of recommendation from professional or academic sources. Since you are applying to the Rutgers Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowship Program, there should not be a letter for each company in which you have an interest, just three letters of recommendation suitable for any pharmaceutical industry fellowship program.
- You must list the names of the individuals writing your letters of recommendation in your profile on the Applicant Portal. They will be sent a link to use to upload your letter of recommendation directly to the Applicant Portal.
- Electronic submission of application materials through the Applicant Portal is strongly preferred and is a distinct advantage when distributing your application materials to those companies with mutual interest.
- Required paperwork includes:
- Online Program Interest Form (CIF) - available on-line Nov. 15-Jan. 1
- Letter of Interest
- Updated CV
- Three letters of recommendation
- Most on-site interviews are scheduled in January and February, so you should make sure your application materials are completed as soon as possible. You may check the status of your materials at any time through by logging into the Applicant Portal. Companies interested in your candidacy will contact you to schedule an on-site interview.
