If you’re a current undergraduate or graduate student eager to make your mark with an industry leader, our internships are the perfect place to start.


Over the course of your internship, you will have the opportunity to contribute fresh ideas while gaining hands-on experience in your field of interest, make lasting connections across the organization, and grow in ways you didn’t think possible. Internship durations can range from 3 months to 6 months to a full year (based on the location of the program).

In addition to supporting projects that help our customers discover a cure for cancer, protect the environment, or make sure our food is safe, you’ll also enjoy a variety of programming that allows interns to become fully immersed in the culture of Thermo Fisher Scientific - including professional development workshops, “coffee chats” with members of our leadership team, opportunities to volunteer in the local community, events hosted by our many Business Resource Groups, as well as other site-based social activities.

"My internship provided me an opportunity to gain in depth experience in field of procurement. Thermo Fisher provided me a path I can focus my career on where I got to work on live industry level procurement projects where I was able to face unexpected challenges in projects and how we can overcome that challenge. I was able to network with stakeholders to understand more about procurement. Thermo fisher provided me the skill development platform where I was able to leverage various tools in driving results and the practical exposure, I needed to decide the type of procurement career I want to pursue in future after graduation."
Pratik | Global Procurement Intern | Corporate Services Procurement
"My internship at Thermo Fisher has taught me so much, both at the bench and outside. However, the most important thing I have learned here is the importance of effectively communicating my work. Being on 3 different, concurrent projects has also taught me the importance of experimental planning and effective time management if I want to truly be a multifunctional scientist. 

My manager and team have really pushed me to network and get to know colleagues from all over Thermo Fisher and even across sites. I recently had a call with a bioinformatics Sr. Manager in the UK, and as a previously introverted scientist, I never thought I would have the guts to reach out to people the way I am now. "
Shea | Sr. Intern, Cell Biology | Life Sciences
"Through this internship I have learned to keep a positive outlook and have become well-versed in problem management. I have also been able to hone my skills in Excel and develop new ones through platforms like Clarity and Salesforce.


The advice that I would give someone applying to a Thermo Fisher internship is to not be afraid of communicating your passions and what you are interested in. At this company, they are very welcoming of different perspectives and trying to foster that uniqueness in a way that benefits personal growth but also the company's overall performance as well."
Kylie | Finance Intern | Clinical Resarch Division
"I've wanted to dive into the intersection of biology and business. My Finance Leadership Development Process internship project involved contract modification using Practical Process Improvement (PPI). Stakeholders came together from around the country and England to streamline the process so we could provide better services and products to our customers. 

Thermo Fisher Scientific has a sense of integrity that goes beyond words on a company values page. I look forward to exploring full-time positions after graduation because of the supportive work environment and the innovative company culture driven by PPI."
Kylie – Finance Leadership Development Intern, Clinical Research
"Through my internship, I learned so much about stem cells and their potential to fight disease. My project focused on generating large amounts of neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells using bioreactors. A breakthrough in the team's work would contribute to developing cell therapies and combating neurodegenerative diseases. My colleagues made me feel comfortable to ask questions and ask for help. They embodied the true meaning of a team by leaning on each other to achieve our Mission's success."
Myra - Product Engineering Intern, Life Science and Laboratory Products
"My Thermo Fisher Scientific internship helped me further understand what is expected in an IT career through real work experiences, including exposure to working with global teams and customers. Having a manager and team that provided an environment where I felt empowered to be myself and ask questions allowed me to grow and learn confidently."
Taylor – IT Intern, Corporate
"I returned for a second internship for two main reasons. First, I could see the positive impact on my team and the organization while doing work I enjoyed. Secondly, I connected with the company's Mission personally and it inspired the work I did every day. My project focused on improving the reporting Business Leaders used across the organization to make strategic decisions. My internship experiences at Thermo Fisher have helped me better understand how to manage project priorities effectively and adapt to changes. While a given project may have several goals, it is essential to prioritize and adapt to changes in deadlines, objectives, etc. My internship experience has also provided several opportunities to lead meetings, allowing me to hone my presentation and communication skills."
William - Financial Planning & Analysis Intern, Customer Channels
