Neuroscience Discovery Biology Spring 2027 Co-op (Undergrad or Master's)

Bristol Myers Squibb•Cambridge Crossing, VA

7d•$24 - $37

About The Position

The Neuroscience Discovery Biology team investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases to support the discovery of novel therapeutics. The team uses cellular models and molecular and functional assays to investigate disease-relevant pathways and evaluate potential therapeutic strategies. The co-op will gain hands-on experience in early-stage drug discovery by contributing to experimental research, data analysis, and collaborative scientific discussions.

Requirements

Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Neuroscience, Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field.
Previous laboratory experience through academic research, coursework, or internships.
Foundational knowledge of cell biology, molecular biology, and experimental design.
Interest in neuroscience, neurodegenerative diseases, and drug discovery.
Must be legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of hire and for the duration of employment, without requiring visa sponsorship now or in the future.

Nice To Haves

Experience with mammalian cell culture and aseptic technique.
Familiarity with qPCR, ELISA, or other cell-based assays.

Responsibilities

Execute and troubleshoot cell-based experiments to investigate disease biology and therapeutic mechanisms.
Culture and maintain mammalian cells, including iPSC-derived cellular models.
Perform cellular and molecular assays, including qPCR and immunoassays, to assess functional cellular responses.
