Drug Product Development works with colleagues throughout the entire pharmaceutical development process, from discovery to commercial launch and beyond, to deliver drug products of small molecules for oral delivery. We are looking for candidates who are proven team players; appreciate the challenge of pursuing unique scientific discovery in an emerging field; and who demonstrate solid operational, interpersonal, project management and collaborative skills. We believe this starts with our summer intern program.

• Formal presentation at the end of your internship

• A mentor program

• Formal review and feedback sessions

Please note: Position is in Summit, NJ, New Brunswick, NJ or Princeton, NJ. Interns that will be in-person and reside more than 50 miles away from the work location will receive a housing stipend.

Requirements:

• Candidates must be currently enrolled in an accredited university program seeking a PhD degree in biochemistry, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical, industrial engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, or related areas.

• Candidates are expected to graduate between Fall 2025 and end 2026.
