About the Flagship Pioneering Fellowship
A full time summer Fellowship where exceptional innovator-entrepreneurs help create the next disruptive life science startups.
The Flagship Pioneering Fellowship offers an unparalleled opportunity to apply your scientific expertise, entrepreneurial talent, and self-starter mentality toward creating the next world-changing startups and ventures in human health and sustainability.
Fellows work in teams, asking “What if” or “If only.” Starting with a blank sheet of paper, Fellows leverage their scientific instincts and creativity to generate novel scientific concepts that go beyond the scientific literature and challenge dogma. Fellows then learn to iterate, challenge, and shape these ideas into unreasonable yet compelling venture hypotheses with the potential to produce pioneering new ventures.
We are seeking outstanding scientists, engineers, inventors and budding entrepreneurs who are eager to create first-in-category biotech companies from scratch. A summer as a Flagship Pioneering Fellow is an intense and exciting opportunity to work hand-in-hand with Flagship's seasoned professionals through our uniquely entrepreneurial scientific exploration process and build breakthrough bioplatform companies that change the world.
