Internships - Scientific training with real world impact...
Imagine performing research at a leading global pharmaceutical corporation while gaining practical experience and contributing to the search for new disease therapies. Through the scientific intern program at the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research (NIBR), your contribution to the search for new disease therapies can begin before you graduate. Our program is designed to introduce talented students to drug discovery and to train them in experimental work in this area.

As an intern, you will have a chance to learn new experimental protocols and techniques; gain experience in designing and executing experiments; and analyze the data they produce. Moreover, you will have an opportunity to interact with other interns during social outings.
The Scientific Summer Internship Program in East Hanover (June-August) is a paid, 40-hour per week program for students enrolled at an accredited U.S. university. Interns work on their own project under the guidance of a NIBR scientist. NIBR's research covers many disease, science, and technology areas which allow us to closely match your specific interests with one of our labs. Placement may be in Disease Areas or Expertise Technological Platform Groups including (but not limited to): Preclinical Safety, Cardiovascular & Metabolism, Translational Sciences, Pharmacokinetics and Biomarkers.
In addition to performing research, East Hanover interns participate in many scientific and career development opportunities including project presentations & seminar series.
