About this position

Genentech is offering a unique PhD-candidate-level Summer Internship in South San Francisco for Summer 2026, focusing on proteomics and biomarker discovery. The selected intern will be co-mentored by scientists from both the Translational Medicine department and the Discovery Proteomics group. The primary research area involves developing novel, ultrasensitive proteomics approaches to advance biomarker discovery from human biofluids, with a strong emphasis on bridging discovery science and clinical impact.

Key responsibilities include developing technologies to measure low-abundance proteins in biofluids, optimizing sample preparation and mass spectrometry data acquisition workflows, and analyzing large-scale proteomics datasets to nominate biomarker candidates for clinical development. The ideal candidate is a current PhD student in Molecular Biology, Analytical Chemistry, or related fields, with hands-on experience in proteomic sample preparation and mass spectrometry. Strong data analysis skills are required, and experience with R and/or Python is highly valued.

This paid internship lasts 12 weeks, starting in May or June 2026, and is based on-site at Genentech's South San Francisco campus. The opportunity provides exposure to cutting-edge translational medicine and the chance to work alongside leading scientists in the field. Application is via the Genentech careers portal, and interested candidates should ensure they meet the eligibility criteria before applying. No specific GPA or language test requirements are mentioned. For more information and to apply, visit the provided links.
