About this position
This research opportunity is within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) in Silver Spring, Maryland, with a focus on the Office of Pharmaceutical Quality (OPQ). The project supports the OPQ Assignment Tool initiative by strengthening data validation and improving algorithm performance for assigning pharmaceutical quality work.
The participant will analyze assignment data from December 2025 to the present to identify patterns in workload distribution and to help refine the underlying algorithm. The work brings together mathematical modeling, programming, and integrated data systems in a regulatory setting where data quality and operational consistency matter directly for pharmaceutical quality assessments.
Through the appointment, the fellow will gain practical experience with data analysis, algorithm development, statistical software, and data warehouses, while working with pharmaceutical quality submission data. The learning environment also includes exposure to OPQ business processes, database structures, and the regulatory assessment of drug applications.
The position is based in the FDA/CDER environment and is mentored by Nancy Tian.
