About the role#
Zoetis VMRD Process Chemistry is looking for a summer intern to help build and test a digital, structured method for managing process chemistry and analytical data. You will organize data from an active development program into a structured platform, create an impurity-fate case study, and run a benchmark against current workflows. Your work will result in a data-backed recommendation on how digital CMC tools should be deployed across the portfolio.
What you'll do#
- Structure, clean, and validate reaction, batch, purity, and impurity data from an assigned project.
- Build an impurity-fate and data-retrieval case study in a structured CMC environment.
- Design and execute a benchmark comparing scientific tasks in the new digital environment against the current workflow.
- Analyze benchmark results and create a KPI scorecard.
- Document data standards, assumptions, and gaps.
- Present final recommendations to Process Chemistry, Analytical, and Tech & Digital stakeholders.
What you'll need#
- Current enrollment in a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD program in Chemistry, Cheminformatics, Chemical Engineering, Data Science, Computational Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, or a related field. Rising seniors and graduate students are preferred.
- Experience analyzing structured or semi-structured data using Python, R, SQL, Excel, or Power BI.
- An organic chemistry background sufficient to interpret reaction schemes, HPLC data, and impurity profiles.
- Completed coursework in organic and analytical chemistry.
- Strong attention to data quality, traceability, and reproducibility.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills to present findings to both scientists and non-chemist stakeholders.
Location & details#
- Location: Kalamazoo, Michigan
- Term: Summer 2027
