OncoImmuno Internship Program Overview:
The OncoImmuno Summer Intern Program at Johnson & Johnson is a comprehensive learning and professional experience at one of the world's leading health care companies. This program is designed to build a future pool of talent/ candidates with diverse backgrounds who may pursue and apply for other opportunities at Johnson & Jo hnson ( https://https://www.careers.jnj.com/students) upon successfully completing their degree program. The i nternship position is a full-time opportunit y expecting to last 3 months (May 12 - August 15, 2025).
Based on business needs, internship positions may be available at various J&J locations throughout the US. Including, but not limited to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and California. We work on a "hybrid model" if you are NOT lab based. This means that you will be asked to report on site 3 times a week and can work remotely 2 times a week. If you are selected for an internship position, you will work directly with your manager as your start date approaches to confirm your exact schedule.
Job Description
We offer an inclusive work culture that is open, innovative, and performance driven. As a summer intern in the Onco Immuno TR (Translational Research) Scientist role, you will be a member of a team dedicated to the research and development of new therapeutics and precision medicine strategies in various disease states in oncology and immunology. The selected candidates will be assigned a mentor and will get an opportunity to work with the oncology or immunology teams.
Each intern will have their own project developed jointly with their mentor and will be expected to present the results of their work to their project teams, the O ncology or Immunology S enior L eadership Team (SLT), and as a poster/abstract at the research symposium at the end of the internship. The goal of this internship program is to provide undergraduate and graduate students experience in working in a large pharmaceutical R&D setting and to gain a n understanding of the science and process of novel drug development. The intern will have the opportunity to learn new aspects of disease biology and ways to identify novel therapeutics / drug targets / determine the mechanism of action behind emerging drugs and/or explore biomarkers of res ponse and resistance. If lab based, s tudents will also receive training on the technology platforms ( e.g., ELISA, PCR, DNA sequencing, flow cytometry, cell culture, cell-based functional assays) and analytical methods required for their project. Students selecting computational biology role will develop computational method(s) to analyze omics data to answer program specific questions. Students will receive training on experimental planning and execution, as well as receive guidance on how to troubleshoot experiments relative to their summer project. This role involves extensive global team matrix interactions with colleagues from a number of different disciplines.
Responsibilities may include:
Experimental design and execution
Participating in department and team meetings
