Fellow, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Flagship Pioneering 2022
Flagship Pioneering conceives, resources, and builds life-changing companies (including the now familiar drug and vaccine innovator, Moderna Therapeutics). Flagship has created over 100 scientific ventures resulting in >$200 billion in aggregate value, 500+ issued patents, and >50 clinical trials for novel therapeutic agents. We harness science and entrepreneurialism to envision alternative futures, beginning with seemingly unreasonable propositions and navigating to transformational outcomes through an iterative, evolutionary methodology. We call this process “pioneering”. We believe pioneering is best done in teams, and that it is a process that can be taught, learned, and replicated.
We are very excited to launch our AI Fellowship Program in 2022. Since Flagship’s founding in 2000, we have created companies leveraging advances in computing, big data and AI. In recent years, this trend has accelerated with first-in-category life science companies such as Generate Biomedicines, Cellarity, Valo, and many others creating breakthrough innovations using AI and ML technologies.
We are looking for extraordinary computational scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs to learn our unique company creation process and work alongside individuals within the Flagship Ecosystem focused on solving the most impactful challenges in AI and the life sciences. We collaborate, encourage failure, trust one another, and celebrate successful solutions to hard problems. We respect diversity of opinion, because we value the freedom to explore hunches.
Flagship Pioneering AI Fellows will work in teams, asking “What if” or “If only” and starting with a blank sheet of paper, rely not only literature but on their scientific instincts and creativity to generate novel scientific concepts that challenge dogma. Flagship Pioneering AI Fellows will learn to variate, iterate, and shape these ideas into unreasonable yet compelling venture hypotheses. Flagship Pioneering AI Fellows will also advance the innovative computational technologies our portfolio companies are developing to transform human and planetary health.
