This is a 6 month Co-op opportunity from June-Dec

As a Process Machine Learning Co-op, you will lead data analysis, ML and modeling efforts for development and manufacturing processes as part of the Data and Computational Science team in the mRNA CoE. This team brings end to end data integration and advanced analytics (pre-clinical, biomarkers, process development, CMC, clinical) in the mRNA CoE. Deploying and exploiting digital solutions (AI/machine learning, data, analytics) to integrate the full data value chain, extracting actionable information for a move to a full data driven strategy and decision-making process, to increase probability of success and to accelerate mRNA vaccines and therapeutics development and launch. In this position, you will work in collaboration with other mRNA CoE platforms scientific and technical experts located in the US and in France, bringing practical knowledge and experience in applying mechanistic/knowledge and data driven models to process development and manufacturing for optimization of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics Drug Substance (DS) and Drug Product (DP) processes.

In this role you will

• You will be responsible for identifying, and delivering process modeling projects in process development, CMC, including predictive modeling in the context of mRNA DS/DP processes.

• Partner with chemists, formulators, analysts, engineers, and other scientists across mRNA CoE to rapidly design robust Drug Substance (DS) and Drug Product (DP) processes

• Bring broad knowledge and expertise in deterministic/mechanistic, statistical and hybrid models for process data hybrid modeling for mRNA Drug Substance and Drug Product development and manufacture.

• Design, develop and validate robust solutions, computational tools and pipelines in support of data rich, high throughput experimental workflows that support DS and DP process design, optimization, and troubleshooting.

• Maintain a well-documented, reusable codebase, and traceable model history

About you

• M.S or ongoing PhD in Chemical, Biochemical or Pharmaceutical Engineering, or related discipline

• Modeling of biopharmaceutical process and unit operations preferred

• Co-op or intern experience preferred

• Expertise in modeling of time series data and/or dynamic process data

• Practical experience proposing, prototyping and deploying novel algorithms; developing and validating new models

• Experience with software development good practices (code versioning, testing, etc.).

• Strong combination of theoretical knowledge, analytical and critical thinking, and creative problem-solving skills with proven ability to work independently to learn new technologies, techniques, processes, languages, platforms, systems

• Good communication, scientific writing, and presentation skills. Ability to simplify complex problems and communicate complex solutions in a simple and effective manner with customer-oriented mindset.

As a healthcare company and a vaccine manufacturer, Sanofi has an important responsibility to protect individual and public health. All US based roles require individuals to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as part of your job responsibilities.

According to the CDC, an individual is considered to be “fully vaccinated” fourteen (14) days after receiving (a) the second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, or (b) the single dose of the J&J vaccine. Fully vaccinated, for new Sanofi employees, is to be fully vaccinated 14 DAYS PRIOR TO START DATE.
