NOTE: PATH requests that you include a cover letter at the top of your uploaded resume attachment that describes your interest in the position and how your background and experience qualify you for the role. Please note this position is based in South San Francisco, California.
PATH is an international nonprofit organization that transforms global health through innovation. We take an entrepreneurial approach to developing and delivering high-impact, low-cost solutions, from lifesaving vaccines and devices to collaborative programs with communities. Through our work in more than 70 countries, PATH and our partners empower people to achieve their full potential.
PATH's Drug Development Global Program grew from our affiliation in late 2011 with the nonprofit drug development group OneWorld Health. We're working to discover, develop, and deliver safe, effective, and affordable new treatments for diseases disproportionately affecting people in the developing world. By combining entrepreneurial energy, pharmaceutical expertise, and an innovative product development partnership model, we challenge the assumption that pharmaceutical research and development is too expensive to create the new medicines that the developing world desperately needs.
