2027 Summer Intern PhD Student - Chemical Process Development ANALYTICAL

Bristol Myers Squibb • New Brunswick, NJ

6d

About The Position

Chemical Process Development (CPD) brings together organic chemists, analytical chemists, and chemical engineers to design novel syntheses that supply new medicines. CPD scientists develop safe, economical, sustainable, and robust small-molecule processes for clinical trials and medicine launches. The intern will join the analytical team and help advance CPD’s analytical capabilities by developing and optimizing liquid chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques.

Over approximately 10 weeks, the intern will complete a guided research project with a mentor within a PD Project Team. The internship offers industry and functional experience, challenging assignments, exposure to company and business leaders, a mentorship program, and a formal presentation at its conclusion. The position is based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and is scheduled to run from June 7 to August 13, 2027.
