The Global Oncology Internship 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 who may pursue and apply for other opportunities at Johnson & Johnson () upon successfully completing their degree program. The internship position is a full-time opportunity expecting to last approximately 12 weeks (May 10th - August 13th, 2027).

The intern willhave the opportunity to learn new aspects of disease biology and ways to identify novel therapeutics/drug targets and/or determine the mechanism of action behind emerging drugs.

Students will also receive training on the technology platforms (e.g.,ELISA, PCR, DNA sequencing, flow cytometry,cell culture, cell-based functional assays, computational approaches such as single-cell RNA-seq analysis) and analytical methods required for their project. Students will receive training on experimental planning and execution, as well as receiving guidance on how to troubleshoot experiments related to their project.
