Flagship Pioneering is a scientific venture creation firm in Kendall Square, a world biotech hub in Cambridge MA. Flagship isn’t a venture capital firm—instead we use our resources to create brand new companies based on the ideas dreamed up by our own in-house scientists. Over the years we have created over 130 companies including Moderna, Cellarity, Indigo Agriculture and Lila Sciences. Our pipeline starts with curious, creative, rigorous scientists and technologists who are interested in exploring truly novel ideas, well beyond the safety of what is possible today. Our summer Fellowship is an opportunity for the best and most motivated candidates to spend 3 months embedded in our company-creation teams learning our unique process of scientific exploration. It is an in-person, paid opportunity and the most talented, most creative Fellows get offers to come back and work at Flagship full-time once they’ve completed their Ph.D. or postdoc. Candidates could include entrepreneurial Ph.D. students and postdocs from nearly any scientific or technical background—biomedical, basic biology and chemistry, computer science, engineering, and others.

Join Kale Hartmann, Ph.D., Senior Manager for Fellowship and Early Origination at Flagship Pioneering, to learn more about this fellowship opportunity, the experience, and the application process. Coffee and breakfast pastries will be provided by Flagship.

This event is part of the Careers Beyond Academia series sponsored by The Graduate School and the Office of Postdoctoral Services and is co-sponsored with Duke Engineering PhD Plus.
