82VS I Venture Fellow

[cid67279*image004.png at 01D8ED4F.33B9BF00]

Apply by: November 11, 5 PM EST

Application: submit a CV/resume and application here<https://alloytherapeutics.applytojob.com/apply/ZY9zo7Hk8n/82VS-Venture-Fellow>

82VS was launched in 2020 to allow company builders to efficiently launch new asset-centric companies that leverage Alloy's platforms, services, and company creation infrastructure. To date 82VS has founded nine asset-focused companies developing new medicines across the areas of oncology, immunology, ophthalmology, neurology, and rare diseases. Our current companies are developing antibody, antisense oligonucleotide, and TCR mimic therapeutics, but we are also actively working to build out multimodal therapeutics and expand our delivery capabilities (e.g., LNPs, peptides).

We are offering part-time fellowship opportunities to graduate students in programs across the biotechnology ecosystem. Fellows will be exposed to all aspects of new company building including science, clinical translation, strategy, operations, and legal. Fellows will spend a majority of their time delving into an area of interest for company creation and developing a venture thesis. Additionally, they will support current portfolio companies and diligence new opportunities with the team. The fellowship will be a part-time role of 10-15 hours per week for ~6 months with fellows required to be onsite Mondays with the team in Waltham, MA. This role is for PhD or MD candidates in later years of grad school, or Postdocs from various scientific backgrounds. This role requires a tremendous passion for advancing science into medicines for patients.
