Job Title: AI Agent Development in Non-Clinical Biostatistical Research Fall Co-op
Location: Cambridge, MA
About the Job
Join the engine of Sanofi’s mission — where deep immunoscience meets bold, AI-powered research. In R&D, you’ll drive breakthroughs that could turn the impossible into possible for millions.
We are inviting applications for a Fall 2026 co-op focused on developing AI agents to support innovation in non-clinical biostatistical research. This internship will be co-supervised by experts from both the Non-Clinical Efficacy & Safety Statistics team and Digital R&D, offering a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of data science, artificial intelligence, and pharmaceutical research.
About Sanofi:
We’re an R&D-driven, AI-powered biopharma company committed to improving people’s lives and delivering compelling growth. Our deep understanding of the immune system – and innovative pipeline – enables us to invent medicines and vaccines that treat and protect millions of people around the world. Together, we chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives.
Main Responsibilities:
Design, prototype, and evaluate AI agents to enhance automation and decision-making in non-clinical workflows
Collaborate with statisticians and digital scientists to identify impactful use cases and integrate AI solutions into research pipelines
Document development processes and present findings to cross-functional teams
About You
