At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask, "Who are you working for?"—a question that fuels collaboration, accountability, and urgency in our work. Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases. We offer uniquely interesting and meaningful work, opportunities for growth, and a supportive environment that values inclusion, wellbeing, flexibility, and comprehensive benefits. This is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it.
Product Development works with colleagues throughout the entire pharmaceutical development process, from discovery to commercial launch and beyond. Whether it is small molecule or biological therapeutics, PD delivers optimized chemical syntheses, formulations, and control strategies for our products. Additionally, PD manufactures, packages, labels, and distributes all clinical supplies for all clinical studies that our company runs in more than 50 countries. We are looking for candidates who are proven team players; appreciate the challenge of pursuing unique scientific discovery in an emerging field; and who demonstrate solid operational, interpersonal, project management and collaborative skills. We believe this starts with our summer intern program.
Summer interns will work with mentors for ~10 weeks on a guided research project within a PD Project Team. The program is organized to ensure that interns gain valuable industry and functional experience, work on challenging assignments, learn about BMS and meet diverse company representatives. Applications are currently being accepted and may be selected on a rolling basis.
Program Dates: Monday June 7, 2027 - Friday, August 13, 2027.

The program will feature
An orientation, including an overview of company structure, products and brands
