Student Opportunities – Visiting Scientist Fellowship

Discover And Advance
Your Full Potential

Lilly’s Visiting Scientist Fellowship (VSF) program exposes recent Pharm.D., M.D., and relevant Ph.D. or master’s degree graduates to a myriad of pharmaceutical functions and experiences, providing hands-on involvement with the drug development process. As a VSF, you will use your skills to make a positive impact on global patient care and medicine development. With many innovative molecules in our development pipeline, there’s never been a better time to join Lilly.

The VSF is a unique, one-year post-graduate program. You’ll be assigned to one department, yet work closely with other cross-functional areas, enabling you to learn about medical, marketing, regulatory, and many other facets of drug development. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to discover and develop the next generation of drugs that will improve patients’ lives. To learn more about the VSF program, please watch this overview of the program from the VSF Program Coordinator, Jason Singer.

Scientist Elizabeth B.

The Visiting Scientist program provided me with the opportunity to learn about drug development and regulatory science through experiential learning. It was a rewarding fellowship, which shaped my career aspirations as a pharmacist and as a scientist.”

Elizabeth B., Pharm.D. 1996 Fellow – Purdue University, Senior Director, Project Management – Research/Development
Scientist Brian C.

As a pharmacist who is particularly interested in the commercial space, I found that few fellowships provide the opportunity to apply my clinical knowledge in the strategic development of a novel drug. This ultimately ensures that patient care needs are aligned with the business strategy.”

Scientist Anokhi P.
