Procter & Gamble
Doctoral Summer Intern Program


Each year we have 15 to 20 summer intern openings for students pursuing Ph.D.s in chemistry, most areas of life sciences, chemical engineering, statistics, toxicology, and regulatory and clinical personnel, including future M.D.s, D.V.M.s, D.D.S.s, and Pharm.D.s.

The preferred period for the 10 to 12 week internship is June 1 to September 1.  The pay is competitive and depends on your year in school and discipline.

Our projects are meaningfully related to your classroom and research education, and the training and mentoring we provide represent an unparalleled opportunity for professional and personal growth.  

At P&G, Intern sessions are considered temporary employment, with a predicted ending point.  No full-time employment commitments are made; however, depending on satisfactory completion of certain criteria, candidates may be considered for full-time positions upon obtaining PhD.

We are looking for outstanding candidates to participate in these programs, which provide a challenging and educational experience. Candidates should be graduating seniors applying for graduate study, or graduate students already enrolled in a graduate program of study. U.S. citizens or permanent residents are given priority. We are especially interested in considering underrepresented minorities (African American, Native American, Hispanic/Latino) in our summer programs.

Please visit www.experiencepg.com and apply directly to job number RND00002028 to be considered.
