Internships and co-ops
Co-ops: our U.S. co-ops join us for four to six months.
Dates may vary depending on your academic institution or functional area of expertise.
I was a co-op at the Discovery Biologics, South San Francisco site. Merck’s internship/co-op program offers an exceptional experience in the bio-pharmaceutical industry. Working alongside talented scientists on meaningful projects has reconfirmed my passion for science and patient care. With my mentor’s guidance and the support from my manager and department, my co-op project progressed smoothly. I truly appreciate the open and collaborative culture at Merck, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn about the drug development pipeline.
As a co-op at Merck, I have been immersed in an environment that fosters growth, innovation, and leadership. My experience has given me the opportunity to tackle meaningful challenges while expanding my skills in ways that have prepared me for future leadership roles. The culture at Merck, has been extremely supportive which drove both my personal and professional development.
