TDS Digital Ops & Strat Co-Op

Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine•Malvern, PA

1d•Onsite

About The Position

The Co-op term is six months typically from January to June, 2027 (flexible). Full time requirement (40 hours per week) Fully On-site. Purpose: The TDS Digital Operations & Strategy organization is seeking a highly motivated Co-Op interested in bioprocess advanced analytics, data science, and Process Analytical Technology (PAT). In this role, the Co-Op will work at the intersection of bioprocessing, analytical technologies, and data science to support the development of advanced analytical and modeling approaches for bioproduction. The position provides hands-on experience with process sensors, spectroscopy, multivariate modeling, programming, model development, and analytical tools while collaborating with cross-functional scientific and technical teams.

Requirements

Completion of Undergraduate Freshman year at an accredited University is required.
Currently pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Chemical Engineering, Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Data Science or related scientific, engineering, or quantitative disciplines.
Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, which is reflective of all college coursework.
You must not have any Summer Internship contract or other employment commitment that could interfere with the contract dates specified for this position.
Programming experience, including Python coding and experience supporting software development, model building, and/or analytical tool development.
Strong analytical, quantitative, statistical, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to analyze and interpret complex scientific or process datasets.
Ability to work independently as a self-starter while collaborating effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities while delivering results.
Permanently authorized to work in the U.S., must not require sponsorship of an employment visa (e.g., H-1B or green card) at the time of application or in the future. Students currently on CPT, OPT, or STEM OPT usually requires future sponsorship for long term employment and do not meet the requirements for this program unless eligible for an alternative long-term status that does not require company sponsorship.
If you are under 18 years of age, you (the candidate) may need to obtain the necessary working papers or other documentation required by state law to start the assignment, as well as get a parent’s consent for the background check.
