Are you interested in life sciences venture capital investments? Have you recently completed your MD or PhD in biomedical sciences, and considering a career in the life sciences investment industry? Can you see yourself putting your scientific training to use to evaluate new ideas, analyse companies and identify unique investment opportunities? Then consider applying for a fellowship with Forbion.

Forbion is a leading global venture capital firm with deep expertise in Europe with offices in Naarden, The Netherlands, Munich, Germany, and Boston, USA. Forbion invests in innovative biotech companies, managing €7.5 billion across multiple fund strategies that cover all stages of (bio-) pharmaceutical drug development.

You will gain exposure to a wide range of company due diligence activities, and interact with other investors, academic and industry experts in the life science industry.

This role will allow you to develop your analytical skills as you assess life sciences companies to identify value through scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial and financial perspectives. You will learn and work alongside a diverse international team of investors with extensive experience in the life sciences.

The primary role of the fellow will be to support daily deal flow management and initial evaluation of new investment opportunities and landscaping projects. Other activities will include the support of investment, due diligence and special projects. This activity is expected to provide exposure to several biotech companies spanning a range of therapeutic areas and stages of development.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
