Summer intern in R&D analytical LCMS and NMR Group
We are looking for candidates who are enthusiastic about scientific research, demonstrate strong academic achievement, and possess effective communication and teamwork abilities. A solid foundation in laboratory work, computer science, or cheminformatics is required, while prior research experience in these areas is highly valued.
The Structural Elucidation Group investigates the structure and function of different Scent and Taste molecules by employing skills such as NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and computational sciences. The ideal candidate should have knowledge or hands-on experience with at least one of these methods and will be able to use their expertise—along with additional skills—to help advance our company's molecule ingredient pipeline.
Interns will maintain safe laboratory practices, present their data, and interpret results for a scientific team. They will also attend meetings within the department and team to gain broader insight into the Scent and Taste industry. We aim to offer in-person internships whenever possible, so future talent can fully immerse themselves in working at a Scent and Taste company.
