Are you ready for a new beginning?
We need your talent, knowledge and dedication to better our world with biology.

Our purpose points the way
In Novonesis, we know that solutions rooted in biology can help solve humanity’s biggest challenges. Since we began more than a century ago, this has been our guide. It’s how we've gotten so far. And it’s how we'll impact the future. Now, more than ever, the world needs change. And with biosolutions, the possibilities for transformation are endless.

We’re here to better our world with biology.

Join us as our new student worker

• We deliver tailored innovation frameworks, processes, and tools for our colleagues working with innovation in R&D. We ensure effective deployment through training, coaching, and networking.

• We establish a "single source of truth" for all portfolio and innovation-related (non-scientific) data, ensuring consistency and reliability. We ensure that technology and systems are in place, and we continually develop and push boundaries to make sure they remain fit for purpose and enable our organization to work as effectively as possible.

• We provide insightful, data-driven analyses and recommendations to support superior decision-making. We make sure that data is available to those who need it in a customer-friendly, clear and comprehensible manner.

You will get a chance to learn about how decisions are made in a company and see how the data/insights you provide are impacting the decisions. You will interact with several stakeholders across the organization, such as R&D, Commercial Development, and Business Finance. You can expect a steep learning curve from day one, and you are guaranteed to develop a broad range of skills and network that will be highly valuable in your future work life.
