NDDS Summer Intern Princeton

Position Summary

Bristol Myers Squibb's Nonclinical Discovery & Development Sciences (NDDS) organization is recruiting undergraduate students for a 10-week, full-time internship in summer 2027. Each intern works on a hypothesis-driven project in a discovery or development function. Possible areas include target and candidate toxicity, AI and bioinformatics applications, pharmacokinetics, bioanalytical method development, formulation and drug delivery, and laboratory animal welfare.

Depending on the project, interns carry out laboratory work, literature and data review, programming, and computational analyses with support from their manager. Interns also build skills in critical thinking, risk/benefit assessment, and scientific writing. They take part in mentoring and cross-functional networking and present their findings at the end of the program.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute directly to an assigned project with manager support, aligned with NDDS responsibilities and the student's experience and goals.
• Take part in mentoring, informal networking, formal symposiums, and cross-functional discussions with Research team members to learn about roles across the drug discovery and development pipeline.
• Present the overall project and scientific findings at the end of the internship.

Core Competencies

• Communication: Clear scientific writing and data summarization, plus oral presentation skills for a multidisciplinary audience.
• Critical thinking and judgment: Sound reasoning when interpreting data, with attention to detail, accurate documentation, and data integrity.
• Adaptability and multi-tasking: Learning new technologies and methods quickly while managing priorities in a fast-paced setting.
• Collaboration and growth mindset: Teamwork across functions, intellectual curiosity, initiative, and openness to mentoring and feedback.

BMS hires for skills and capabilities, not just credentials. If this role interests you but does not perfectly match your resume, you are encouraged to apply anyway.

Pay for this internship is set according to local market practices and applicable laws. Interns may be eligible for limited benefits depending on program structure, work location, and local requirements. This is a temporary, time-bound position for the duration of the internship and does not guarantee continued employment after the program ends.
