5AM Ventures Boston 2023 Fellowship

5AM Ventures
Founded in 2002, 5AM Ventures is an early-stage biotech venture firm leveraging both venture creation (i.e., building biotech companies from scratch) and venture capital to bring new medicines to patients. 5AM leads syndicated Seed and Series A investments in early-stage therapeutics companies, and our 4:59 Initiative founds new biotech companies around scientific breakthroughs. 5AM Ventures has offices in San Francisco, CA and Boston, MA, and approximately $2B under management.

The 5AM Ventures Fellowship provides an exclusive opportunity to gain experience in both venture creation and venture capital. We commit to supporting the careers of our fellows, and past fellows have successfully transitioned to full-time positions in venture capital, business development, and healthcare consulting.

We are seeking Fellows who can assist the 4:59 and 5AM teams with
1) reviewing new insights in prioritized areas of science to craft an investment thesis,
2) supporting scientific detailed diligence (e.g. research and talking to academics, KOLs), and
3) supporting new company formation activities with a focus on the scientific strategy.

Time commitment will be 20+ hours/week, for 6 months, and a stipend will be provided.

Who Can Apply:

  • We are seeking Fellows who can work at our Boston office from January to June 2023. Hours spent in-office will be flexible.
  • The firm is looking for individuals with strong scientific or medical background (MD and/or PhD) e.g., PhD students, MBA students with relevant experience, postdocs and clinical fellows. If you recently graduated and are no longer affiliated with a university, please describe why you may be a good fit in your cover letter.
  • People authorized to work in the United States are encouraged to apply, including international students who can be employed through a university-sponsored work-study program. Unfortunately, the 5AM Fellowship Program cannot sponsor visas or accept STEM extensions.
