Probably none in the era of increased popularity of post graduate education. You sure are trying hard to find a job that doesn't require a license....you must've really screwed yourself.
 
Without a residency/fellowship you are going to have trouble. Entry level is a BS or MS level position (and pay to match) and a PharmD with fellowship would be expected to go into a more senior level position. You're kinda stuck in a middle ground
 
I do have a B.S. but I was really looking for the title of jobs that I can apply to. When I review company websites I am unsure of what jobs I am looking for.
 
Why would entry-level positions hire a PharmD when they can get a B.S. for a third of the pay?
 
I work for a PharmD at Janssen (Johnson & Johnson). My position title is research assistant. I only have a BS in Biochemistry though. I would look for positions that are at least research associate. I saw GSK has a program for PharmD that is like 2-3 years any they train you into a senior employee.
