Intern - Research - Strategy, Innovation & Portfolio

The Role: Strategic Portfolio Innovation

In this hybrid internship based in Foster City, you will sit at the intersection of cutting-edge medicine and high-level business strategy. You will help Gilead navigate its massive research portfolio by translating complex scientific data into clear, actionable stories that drive executive decisions. This is an opportunity to move beyond basic data entry and help coordinate the initiatives that bring life-changing therapies to the global market.

Tech Stack & Vibe Coding Workflow

Gilead is looking for interns who don't just write code, but who leverage AI to build faster and smarter. You will lead an AI-augmented project to synthesize scientific and operational data. Key technical aspects include:

• AI-Assisted Development: Utilizing GitHub or similar tools to "vibe code" solutions for complex data problems.
• Data Synthesis: Using Python, R, and SQL to manage and visualize large-scale scientific datasets.
• Strategic Intelligence: Creating data-driven models that help prioritize different therapeutic research programs.

Professional Growth & Impact

Over 10 to 12 weeks, you’ll evolve from a student into a strategic contributor. Beyond the technical work, you will engage in professional development workshops, networking events, and community service. The internship culminates in a high-visibility presentation where you will showcase your AI-driven insights to company leadership, demonstrating how modern development workflows can accelerate the future of drug discovery.
