2027 Future Talent Program - Systems Biology - Intern

MerckUpper Gwynedd Township, PA
$39,108 - $111,111Onsite

About The Position

The Future Talent Program features internships that last up to 12 weeks 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. Nonclinical drug safety (NDS) helps advance high-quality drug candidates into development by defining the non–clinical safety and selectivity of lead compounds. NDS employees evaluate the preclinical toxicity of drug development candidates, provide mechanistic understanding of drug-induced toxicity, and assess implications for human safety. The Systems Biology Intern will work within the Systems Toxicology team to generate and analyze cutting-edge spatial genomics datasets in order to advance investigative assessments into the molecular mechanisms of drug-induced toxicities. Responsibilities will include sample preparation and performing spatial experiments, expanding analytical capabilities/workflows for spatial data and analysis of newly generated datasets from investigative studies. Our ability to excel depends on the integrity, knowledge, imagination, skill, diversity and teamwork of people like you. To this end, we strive to create an environment of mutual respect, encouragement and teamwork. As part of our global team, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with talented and dedicated colleagues while developing and expanding your career.
