2026 Investigative Toxicology Complex In Vitro Models Intern (PhD)

Role Summary

The Molecular Toxicology internship focuses on developing and applying complex in vitro models to support safety investigations of small and large molecules. You will gain experience using advanced cellular and molecular biology techniques to answer questions about compound safety and to apply and develop in vitro models for evaluating toxicities.

Responsibilities

• Execute and analyze experiments to evaluate drug-induced changes in expression
• Use complex in vitro models to investigate toxicities associated with compounds
• Work collaboratively with team members to design experiments and explore data
• Communicate updates through written reports and oral presentations

Qualifications

• Required: Currently enrolled in university, pursuing a PhD in toxicology, cellular and molecular biology, or other related field
• Required: Must be enrolled in university for at least one semester following the internship
• Required: Must have familiarity with cellular and molecular biology
• Preferred: Expected graduation date between December 2026 – June 2027
• Preferred: Experience with cell culture or complex in vitro models
