Neuroscience Discovery Biology Spring 2027 Co-op

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. Position Summary The Neuroscience Discovery Biology team focuses on understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases to support the discovery of novel therapeutics.

Our team uses a variety of cellular models alongside molecular and functional assays to investigate disease-relevant pathways and evaluate potential therapeutic strategies.

The co-op will gain hands-on experience in early-stage drug discovery, contributing to experimental research, data analysis, and collaborative scientific discussions.

Key Responsibilities • Execute and troubleshoot cell-based experiments to investigate disease biology and therapeutic mechanisms. • Culture and maintain mammalian cells, including iPSC-derived cellular models.

• Perform cellular and molecular assays, including qPCR and immunoassays, to assess functional cellular responses. • Analyze and interpret experimental data and draw meaningful scientific conclusions.

• Maintain accurate laboratory records, documenting experimental procedures and results. • Present findings and collaborate with scientists to support experimental planning and ongoing drug discovery efforts.

Qualifications & Experience • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Neuroscience, Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field. • Previous laboratory experience through academic research, coursework, or internships.

• Foundational knowledge of cell biology, molecular biology, and experimental design. • Preferred: experience with mammalian cell culture and aseptic technique.

• A plus: familiarity with qPCR, ELISA, or other cell-based assays. • Interest in neuroscience, neurodegenerative diseases, and drug discovery. • All candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of hire and for the duration of their employment.

Please note that visa sponsorship, including for student or temporary work authorization programs, is not available for this role. Candidates must have work authorization that does not require sponsorship now or in the future.

Core Skills • Scientific curiosity and critical thinking • Problem solving and experimental troubleshooting • Data analysis and interpretation • Attention to detail and organizational skills • Effective written and verbal communication • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively • Adaptability and willingness to learn new techniques We hire for skills and capabilities, not just credentials – if this role excites you, but doesn’t perfectly match your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway.
