Job Title: Winter, Spring 2026 Co-op-Intern - mRNA Data and Computational Science

Location: Waltham, MA

About the Job 

The Co-op position is located in the Data and Computational Science (DCS) department within the Sanofi mRNA Center of Excellence (mRNA CoE), supporting the CMC data science group. This role focuses on developing chemometric models using process analytical technologies (PAT) such as Raman and FTIR and integrating these with first principle and machine learning (ML) models for various units, including In Vitro Transcription (IVT) and T-mixing in drug substance and product process development. The candidate will have the opportunity to learn about mRNA technology and unit operations, and to demonstrate the benefits of PAT technologies alongside first principle and ML modeling in a non-GMP lab environment.

We are an innovative global healthcare company that helps the world stay ahead of infectious diseases by delivering more than 500 million vaccine doses a year. Across different countries, our talented teams are exploring new technologies to protect people and promote healthy communities. We chase the miracles of science every single day, pursuing Progress to make a real impact on millions of patients around the world.

Main Responsibilities:

• The successful candidate will collaborate with their supervisor to develop chemometric models and integrate them with first principle and machine learning (ML) models for various unit operations.

• Activities will include investigating data reconciliation and state estimation techniques such as extended Kalman filtering and moving horizon methods.
