Job Description

The Future Talent Program features internships that last 10-12 weeks and will include one or more projects. These opportunities in our Research Division can provide you with great development and a chance to see if we are the right company for your long-term goals.

Our company is on a quest for cures and is committed to being the world’s premier, most research-intensive biopharmaceutical company. Today, we’re doubling down on this goal. Our Research & Development Division is a true scientific research facility of tomorrow and will take our company’s leading discovery capabilities and world-class small molecule, vaccines, and biologics R&D expertise to create breakthrough science that radically changes the way we approach serious diseases.

Our Research & Development Division’s Biologics Process Research and Development (BPR&D) department is seeking summer interns who will work collaboratively in a team environment at our state-of-the-art laboratories to develop novel bioprocess technologies and solve key challenges in biopharmaceutical process development and manufacturing. BPR&D is responsible for developing manufacturing processes and associated technologies for our company's biologics pipeline.

BPR&D includes three main technical functional areas/groups: Process Cell Sciences (PCS) which also interfaces with our company’s discovery teams, Biologics’ Process Development (BPD) which includes both upstream and downstream bioprocessing, and US-based Manufacturing Operations (USMO). This job posting covers opportunities for interns in all the above three functional areas.

The summer interns will be exposed to: Fundamentals of bioprocessing, which are necessary to solve problems as a member of an integrated team in support of the large molecule pipeline at our company. Expert groups in the areas of cell line development and engineering, upstream and downstream process development, high throughput screening, media development, -omics, and continuous bioprocessing State-of-the-art bioprocessing approaches, automation and engineering technologies, equipment, and facilities used for manufacturing modern biopharmaceuticals.

The interns in BPR&D will also participate in departmental and project team meetings to provide a broad perspective on the drug development process in the pharmaceutical industry. The interns will be responsible for accurate electronic notebook recording of experimental details and for analysis and interpretation of data that may be used for internal or external scientific publications which may follow from the internship.

Interns will have the opportunity to gain further knowledge, and skillsets via refinement of laboratory skills, introduction to new experimental techniques, exposure to current challenges in bioprocess research, and perspectives on the practical aspects of drug development. In addition, the intern student will have an opportunity to present their research results in both oral and written formats.
