Application Process FAQ
-
Please note: The reference process has changed from a questionnaire to a traditional letter of recommendation for this recruitment cycle.
Letters of recommendation will only be requested for candidates selected for a final-round interview. Our team will contact recommenders directly with instructions for submitting their letter. Candidates are responsible for notifying their references in advance and ensuring that their letters are submitted by the specified deadline.
-
The writing sample should demonstrate the candidate’s ability to effectively communicate scientific and technical information. While the preferred format is a drug information question and response, candidates may submit other examples of independent work that they believe best showcase their scientific writing and communication skills. The writing sample must be the candidate’s own work and may not include peer-reviewed publications, collaborative presentations, or any other co-authored materials. PowerPoint slide decks will not be accepted as writing samples, even if they were created independently by the candidate.
-
Please upload ALL documents under the Resume/CV section in Workday.
-
The system does not allow applicants to re-upload materials to an existing application. To proceed, you will need to withdraw your current application, create a new account using a different email address, and submit a new application.
If you encounter any issues during this process, please don't hesitate to contact pharmafellows@sju.edu for assistance.

Recognizing that the choice of a Post-Doctoral Industry Fellowship is an important decision, PCP in partnership with the Alliance of Industry Fellowship Associates (AIFA), has agreed to extend offers for fellowships no earlier than December 11, 2026.
We see this respect and support for candidate choice as a common aspect of each of our Fellowship Program’s cultures. We hope that other academic and non-academic Fellowship Programs will respect this timeline. Candidates should feel free to request an extension for any earlier offer to allow them to consider their options.
