Who can apply?
- Applicants had to be enrolled at a four-year college or university and expect to graduate between December 2027 and July 2028. That date window—not a generic junior label—is the controlling academic rule.
- The posting requires a minimum 3.5 GPA and a bachelor's degree path in chemistry, chemical, biomedical or materials engineering, another related engineering field or life sciences, with full-time availability after graduation in September 2028.
- Ongoing US work authorization is required and the role offers no immigration sponsorship. Candidates must be willing to relocate to an eligible New Jersey or New York office; laboratory experience can come from coursework or other settings.
The role page may remain visible after its application period. Its August 14–September 30 window is closed and should not be presented as a currently open application.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
Build one laboratory story around the question, method, controls, result and limitation. L'Oréal asks candidates to communicate technical findings to nontechnical audiences, so practice explaining why the finding matters without erasing uncertainty.
Beauty experience is not required, but product curiosity should be concrete. Read the selected team's work and identify one formulation, evaluation or applied-science question that connects to your actual coursework.
