Position Description

Disclaimer: Students will no longer be able to view externship listings and provide preferences of externships they would like to attend. Students will be selected through detailed application questions and an interview. As such, please provide specific details of the following:

  • An example may include:
    The student will develop an understanding of careers in the pharmaceutical industry, network with scientists in our company, and engage in opportunities for professional development. Toward these ends, the agenda will be tailored toward the student's specific interests and can include opportunities for the student to::

    • Meet with scientists across a variety of disciplines such as drug product formulation, analytical characterization, and manufacturing.
    • Tour the campus, in addition to specific labs performing work of interest to the student.
    • Learn about the pharmaceutical industry and the process of drug development.
    • Participate in a mock interview session.
    • Practice presenting a relevant research article.

    If you are unsure at the time of completing the application, please put “consultation required” and a BOLD staff member will reach out to you for further discussion.


  • Douglass Residential College pairs externs with Site Mentors based upon the students’ academic and career goals. We give priority to students who are in need of professional development. Therefore, the student you are paired with will likely have little professional experience. If you desire a more seasoned student or specific majors, please indicate this below under prerequisites/requirements. This will be viewable to the student, so please make any requirements appropriate for online viewing. If you would like to make private requests (e.g. to view resumes before placement), please email Chrissy Oller (christine.oller@rutgers.edu).

  • While we will do our best to match students based on any prerequisites or requirements, it may not be possible.

  • I am willing to provide/donate travel funds to the student *

  • Is housing available for the student? *
