About the Opportunity:

Northeastern University Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowships Program is a two-year experiential program designed to advance lifelong learning and the education and training of Pharm.D. graduates. Critical to the success of the program is our ability to prepare Fellows to meet the ongoing workforce needs in various areas of industry.

Our program gives fellows an opportunity to work with our innovative biopharmaceutical industry partners while collaborating with Northeastern University faculty in professional and career development, service, scholarship, and teaching.

In partnership with Northeastern University, Takeda Pharmaceuticals is offering a two-year Clinical Sciences PharmD/PhD fellowship based in Cambridge, MA.

We aim to discover and deliver life-transforming treatments in our core therapeutic and business areas, including gastrointestinal and inflammation, rare diseases, plasma-derived therapies, oncology, neuroscience and vaccines.

As a leading values-based, R&D-driven biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Japan, we are guided by our commitment to patients, our people and the planet.

Responsibilities:

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company is committed to striving towards better health for people and a brighter future for the world through the development and delivery of potentially life-transforming treatments. Takeda Gastrointestinal and Inflammation (GI2) Clinical Sciences group is within Research and Development. Clinical Sciences leads clinical development programs to bring medicines to patients with gastrointestinal, inflammatory and liver diseases. If you want to learn clinical development and grow your career within the pharmaceutical industry, join our Clinical Sciences Fellowship.

Clinical Sciences at Takeda provides medical and scientific support across the asset lifecycle, from early clinical development to marketed products for the Gastrointestinal and Inflammation therapeutic area. The two-year Takeda Clinical Science Fellowship Program is designed to prepare post-doctoral scholars for rewarding careers in the biopharmaceutical industry. Fellows will learn the day-to-day role of Clinical Sciences on global matrixed teams by leading and contributing to the design, implementation, monitoring, analysis and reporting of clinical studies. The overarching program goal is to empower Fellows to be high achieving clinical leaders that bring transformational medicines to patients.

In year one, fellows will have rotational experiences across various ongoing development programs in clinical sciences. Fellows may also opt to elect a 3-month rotational experience in another functional area of interest. The integrative Clinical Sciences experience allows fellows to gain exposure while supporting typical daily workflows and potentially leading high impact projects. In year two, the fellow will be fully immersed in one asset in the Clinical Sciences team, along with the opportunity to work autonomously as a clinical scientist.

Responsibilities may include:

Oversee clinical study execution and planning
