Opportunities

This internship is fully funded with salary, student dorm housing, and travel covered to/from Novartis’ Cambridge, Massachusetts, site or San Diego, California site— we recruit talented students from all over the US. Novartis’ ten-week Summer of Science Internship Program within the Biomedical Research (BR) division of Novartis provides research training opportunities for top-tier undergraduate students who have minimal exposure to industry research. This program enables students to gain both hands-on research experience and personal & professional development experiences that enhance their preparation for careers in biomedical research and application to top graduate PhD programs. Interns will learn about BR’s approaches to patient-driven research as they work on their own research project under the supervision of a BR scientist mentor at research facilities in Cambridge, Massachusetts (research headquarters) or at a west coast site in San Diego, California. BR’s research covers many disease, science, and technology areas that allow them to closely match each intern’s specific interests with one of their labs.
