Biogen’s two-year PhD 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 through an accelerated and practical introduction to a career in medical affairs.

In year one, fellows will explore the different functional areas within Worldwide Medical through a series of four, 3-month long rotational experiences. Fellows will also have the opportunity to select one rotation outside of medical to foster a broader understanding of our cross-functional partners and how their functions collaborate with medical and fit into the greater organization. In the second year, fellows will pick an area of concentration within Worldwide Medical to prepare them for a continued career in the biopharmaceutical industry. Throughout, fellows will contribute to Biogen business needs as full members of the Worldwide Medical organization in their embedded teams.
