2026 Future Talent Program Screening & Compound Profiling Co-Op
About The Position
The Future Talent Program features Cooperative (Co-op) education that lasts up to 6 months and will include one or more projects. These opportunities in our Research and Development Division can provide you with great development and a chance to see if we are the right company for your long-term goals. The Screening & Compound Profiling group at our Research Laboratories in Rahway, NJ is seeking a dedicated and innovative Co-op candidate. The ideal applicant will demonstrate strong academic credentials, effective communication skills, proven ability to work collaboratively, and prior experience in cell biology and assay development. The co-op will collaborate as part of a multidisciplinary team to advance the development of a scalable three-dimensional (3D) organoid model for chemo-genetic screening. This initiative aims to evaluate translational models and systematically connect traditional in vitro assays with more complex in vivo systems.
