OncoImmuno Clinical Scientist Intern

We offer an inclusive work culture that is open, innovative, and performance driven. As a s ummer i ntern in the Clinica l Scientist role, you will be a member of a clinical team dedicated to the research and development (R&D) of on cologic or immunologic therapeutics. S elected candidates will be assigned a mentor and will have the opportunity to contribute to clinical trials. This role involves extensive global team matrix interactions with colleagues from several different disciplines and may provide exposure to the execution of clinical strategies and the clinical and operational implementation of complex compound programs in Phase I to III clinical oncology or immunology studies.

The Clinical Scientist intern may contribute to Cross-Functional Trial Team (CFTT) activities, including but not limited to developing the clinical trial protocol, clinical trial materials, literature searches and review, medical review of trial data, coordinating the completion of clinical study reports and provid ing support (as needed) for preparation of relevant documents for regulatory filings. The intern may also collaborate with the Study Responsible Scientist (SRS), the Study Responsible Physician (SRP), and or other project team member s in various functional disciplines in monitoring and/ or supporting various aspects of clinical trial conduct. Each intern will have one primary research project and may have additional assigned projects as determined by the mentor and team. Interns will be expected to present their work to their project teams, the O ncology or Immunology S enior L eadership Team (SLT), and are required to present their primary research project 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 with experience in working in a large pharmaceutical R&D setting and to gain a basic understanding of the science and process of novel drug development. Students will have the opportunity to learn aspects of cancer or immunological disease state s, diagnosis, treatment s, and the mechanism of action behind the emerging drugs being developed in our clinical trials. Students will also receive training on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) as part of the Clinical Scientist Intern curriculum, trial specific training, and the clinical database software and medical data review tool.

Responsibilities may include:

• Gain ing an overall understanding of clinical research and drug development including but not limited to Good Clinical Practices (GCPs), International Conference of Harmony (ICH) guidelines, and St andard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
