Job Description Drug Substance Engineering Internship Overview Envision spending your summer working with energetic colleagues and inspirational leaders, all while gaining world-class experience in one of the most dynamic organizations in the pharmaceutical industry. This is a reality for AbbVie Interns. Micronization of drug substance is a critical process in API manufacturing for ensuring downstream critical quality attributes. Micronization processes such as pin milling and jet milling leverage feed rate control to optimize the process performance, and while feed rate is well understood for many powder systems there is a gap in understanding the feed rate control of poorly flowing materials in micronization techniques. The Drug Substance Engineering Intern within Product Development, Science, and Technology (PDS&T) will help establish a systematic approach to understand how the physical properties of powder systems impact their feeding performance in micronization processes. Key responsibilities include: Experimental studies to understand and characterize powder properties Evaluate performance of micronization techniques (i.e. jet mill, pin mill) with various feed mechanisms Analyze data and trends to identify signatures for process performance Develop and verify computational models Summarize and present findings in departmental and cross-functional settings Qualifications MinimumQualifications Currently enrolled in university, pursuing a PhD in Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, or other related field Must be enrolled in university for at least one semester following the internship Expected graduation datebetween December 2027 – June 2028 Preferred Qualifications Exposure to comminution processes Experience with physical characterization techniques (flowability, adhesion, cohesion, bulk density, laser diffraction particle size determination) Proficient in computational modeling techniques (e.g., fluid dynamics, discrete element method) Additional Information Benefits and Amenities Competitive pay Relocation support for eligible students Select wellness benefits and paid holiday / sick time Applicable only to applicants applying to a position in any location with pay disclosure requirements under state orlocal law: The compensation range described below is the range of possible base pay compensation that the Companybelieves ingood faith it will pay for this role at thetimeofthis posting based on the job grade for this position.Individualcompensation paid within this range will depend on many factors including geographiclocation,andwemayultimatelypaymore or less than the posted range.
