Kalamazoo - Downtown Portage Street Role Description: CHEMISTRY DATA SCIENCE INTERN - DIGITAL CMC WORKFLOWS Location: Kalamazoo, Michigan Internship Summary: Zoetis VMRD Process Chemistry is seeking a summer intern to help build and test a structured, digital way of managing process chemistry and analytical data. The intern will organize reaction, batch, purity and impurity data from an active development program into a structured CMC data platform, build an impurity-fate case study, and run a head-to-head benchmark against the current workflow. The outcome is an objective, data-backed recommendation on how digital CMC tools should be deployed across the portfolio. Internship Job Duties: Structure, clean and validate reaction, batch, purity and impurity data from an assigned process chemistry project, applying consistent compound and impurity naming conventions. Build an impurity-fate and data-retrieval case study in a structured CMC data environment (e.g. Luminata or an equivalent platform), mapping impurity formation, carry-through and purge across the synthetic route. Design and execute a benchmark comparing defined scientific tasks in the new digital environment against the current workflow, measuring time to correct answer, accuracy, traceability, data completeness and number of systems consulted. Analyze benchmark results and build a concise KPI scorecard summarizing where structured data delivers measurable gains and where it does not. Document data standards, assumptions and gaps, and deliver a final presentation with recommendations for broader deployment to Process Chemistry, Analytical and Tech & Digital stakeholders. Internship Qualifications: Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD program in Chemistry, Cheminformatics, Chemical Engineering, Data Science, Computational Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry or a closely related field; rising seniors and graduate students preferred. Demonstrated experience analyzing structured or semi-structured data using Python, R, SQL, Excel or Power BI. No specific language is required - strong, reproducible data handling matters more than a particular toolset. Sufficient organic chemistry background to correctly interpret reaction schemes, HPLC/chromatographic data and impurity profiles; coursework in organic and analytical chemistry required. Strong attention to data quality, traceability and reproducibility, with the discipline to document assumptions and flag gaps rather than fill them in. Clear written and verbal technical communication; able to present findings and defend conclusions to scientists and to non-chemist stakeholders.
