Biogen Worldwide Medical Ph.D. Fellowship
Biogen’s two-year Ph.D. fellowship in Worldwide Medical (WWM) provides recent doctoral graduates a hands-on opportunity to learn the ins and outs of medical affairs and the pharmaceutical industry within the walls of a cutting-edge biotech company. The fellowship serves as an accelerated and practical introduction to a career in medical affairs.
During the first year, fellows will explore the different functional areas within WWM through a series of four three-month long rotational experiences. One of these four rotations may be outside of WWM to foster a broader understanding of our cross-functional partners and how they collaborate with and fit into the greater organization.
During the second year, fellows will pick an area of concentration within WWM to prepare them for a continued career in the biopharmaceutical industry. View additional details on the structure of the fellowship in the FAQ below.
