Summer Intern – Protein Engineering

About the Role

We're looking for a Summer Intern – Protein Engineering on the Research Team to help us expand what's possible for patients with serious diseases. The Insmed Summer Internship Program is designed to give you more than just a glimpse into the pharmaceutical industry—it's a chance to make a real impact. Over the course of the summer, you'll gain hands-on experience, contribute to meaningful team projects, and learn directly from skilled professionals who are invested in your growth. Our 2027 Summer Intern program is a full-time (40 hours per week), 12-week, paid internship. The internship may present opportunities for rotational assignments within the function, and the intern will be assigned goals and objectives that will support the strategic business plan of the company.

What You'll Do

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to support in-vitro characterization of new biotherapeutics in our research programs. This support will be in the form of expression (mammalian and/or bacterial), purification and characterization of potential therapeutic targets.

• Interface with other teams and research sub-teams across the organization, gaining exposure to cross-functional collaboration and broadening your understanding of how different scientific and operational groups work together to advance drug development
• Experience Insmed's unique culture firsthand — including our commitment to patients, scientific innovation, and a collaborative, work environment that values curiosity and growth
• Learn new scientific techniques and expand your technical toolkit by working alongside experienced scientists, gaining hands-on exposure to cutting-edge methods used in rare disease research

Who You Are

You are a current student working on a bachelors, masters, or PhD in Bioengineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences (or a related field).

• Strong core wet lab skills and hands-on experience, with a solid foundation in standard laboratory practices, safety protocols, and the ability to execute experiments independently and reproducibly
• A collaborative spirit and genuine enthusiasm for working in a team-oriented environment, contributing ideas, supporting colleagues, and thriving in a dynamic, fast-paced research setting
• Experience with microbiology techniques, including cloning, purification, and characterization of molecules, with the ability to apply these skills to real research questions in a structured lab environment

Nice to have (but not required)

• Protein purification and characterization (bacterial expression, benchtop purification, FPLC purification, plate-based assays, nanodrop protein concentration)

Where You'll Work

This role is based out of our Lebanon, New Hampshire office and requires full-time, in-person presence to support hands-on collaboration, access specialized equipment, and/or operational needs.
