Job Description:

Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine is recruiting for multiple Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics summer interns at its US (Spring House PA, Raritan NJ, Titusville NJ, Cambridge MA and La Jolla CA) sites.

Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics (CPP) is an integral part of the Global Development organization within Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. CPP scientists collaborate across multidisciplinary - compound development teams, applying clinical pharmacology principles and pharmacometrics methodologies across the R&D portfolio to inform and optimze drug development decisions.

The CPP Summer Internship Program offers students with a strong interest in drug development a unique opportunity to collaborate with clinical pharmacologists and pharmacometricians while gaining hands‑on experience in pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), translational modeling, and model-informed drug development (MIDD) within a dynamic pharmaceutical R&D environment.

Our teams build on students' academic backgrounds while advancing their professional development through firsthand experience in drug development. The program also provides an opportunity to assess the student's potential for future employment.

CPP summer interns will contribute to diverse Research and Development efforts spanning preclinical to early- and late-stage clinical development across immunology, oncology, neuroscience, cardiopulmonary and metabolic diseases, through activities such as:

• Clinical Pharmacology and Medical literature review
• Data analysis of PK, biomarker, preclinical and/or clinical data, trial design, etc.
• PK and PD model-building and analyses
• Development of state-of-the-art quantitative methodologies (e.g., population PK/PD, quantitative systems pharmacology [QSP])
• Model based meta-analysis (MBMA), advanced data visualization (e.g., RShiny), and machine learning applications integrating publicly reported and in-house data

Qualifications

• Candidates must be enrolled in an accredited college or university (not necessarily taking classes) pursuing a MS, PharmD, PhD, MD or similar degree in a life sciences-related discipline such as Pharmacology, Pharmacometrics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Molecular or Computational biology, Biophysics, Biostatistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or Medicine.
• Candidates should demonstrate computational proficiency, including experience with data analysis, modeling, and simulation tools such as NONMEM, Phoenix WinNonlin, Monolix, R, Python, or MATLAB.
• Candidates must be available to work full-time for at least 12 weeks between May - September 2027.
• Candidates must be detail-oriented, highly organized, and capable of managing multiple tasks efficiently.
• Candidates must have strong communication and presentation skills.
