This is for a 6-month position from June - December 2021.

Work within Biogen’s Cell Culture Development organization and be engaged in various laboratory and computational simulation aspects. This opportunity grants the individual an opportunity to learn about the bioprocessing application of cell culture and observe how early and late stage drug processes are developed, tested, and transferred to manufacturing scales from lab and pilot scales.

Perform and document a variety of functions in support of the development of new technologies for cell culture manufacturing processes of human therapeutic biomolecules.  Conduct laboratory cell culture experiments such as setting up and running bench scale bioreactors and shake flasks, assist in experimental design and troubleshooting, and analyze data.  Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate fluid flow in various bioprocessing equipment. Candidates must be strong team players and have an ability to collaborate effectively on complex projects. Advance project work by performing relevant tasks to support department goals. Project examples include evaluation of a new technology application, assessment of a process specific hypothesis, development of a new lab test method, or application of engineering principles to bioreactor systems.

To participate in the Biogen Internship Program, students must meet the following eligibility criteria:

• Legal authorization to work in the U.S.
• Grade point average of 3.2 or higher preferred
• At least 18 years of age prior to the scheduled start date
• Be currently enrolled in an accredited college or university

Additional qualifications:

• Self-motivated and independent yet team oriented.
• Excellent organizational and time management skills.
• Willing to work flexible hours/shifts.
• Excellent organizational and time management skills.
• Expected to invest time, as required, to expedite or complete assignments.
• Demonstrated technical proficiency and creativity.
• Proficiency in CFD modelling using ANSYS Fluent or CFX software. Experience in multiphase or computational particle fluid dynamics (CPFD) simulations is a plus.
• Knowledge of mammalian cell culture techniques including aseptic operations, cell biology, biochemistry, analytical techniques, and bioreactor operations is a plus.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
