Biomedical Leadership Fellowship (BLF)

The Biomedical Leadership Fellow, sponsored by HealthX, Fajgenbaum Lab at Penn, the Castleman Disease Collaborative Network (CDCN), and Every Cure, plays an essential role in helping to advance and uncover the utility of existing drugs in every human disease, with the intent of translating therapies to patients with unmet medical needs. The Fellowship winner will work directly with Dr. David Fajgenbaum, MD, MBA, MSc, a physician-scientist at Penn and international leader in drug development and repurposing, on all aspects of their leadership, project management, and translational research work. We have had amazing Penn medical students contribute to our research since 2016. We are looking for an MS3 to take a year out between 3rd and 4th year to work full time (and get paid $50,000 for the year) on the following combination of a) task execution, b) project management/employee management, c) strategic planning across divisions, and d) conducting research. Start date: Flexible—Start date anytime between early January and late December. For more info and to apply, visit the CDCN Fellowship website.
