Internship (12 months) - Data Analytics & Performance Tracking 80-100% (m/w/d)

Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across five continents. While we work in science, there’s no magic formula to how we do it. Our greatest scientific solution is talented people working together, devising ideas that help businesses to help people. In exchange, we let our people own their careers. Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that’s the kind of work we want to be part of.

Join our QC 24/7 Analytical Services team – the central hub for time-critical analytical support in biologics production at the Lonza Visp site. Our team operates around the clock and is the first point of contact for all analytical samples from production. We ensure accuracy, compliance, and timely delivery across a broad range of analytical technologies.

To further strengthen our data-driven performance management, we are looking for a motivated intern with a strong background in informatics, bioinformatics or statistics to support our team for 12 months.
