Opportunities

When new postings for internships and opportunities come in, we’ll post them here:

INTERNSHIPS and OPPORTUNITIES:

Research:

Quantum Undergraduate Research at IBM and Princeton:A unique 12 week program consists of six weeks of academic research at Princeton working at any quantum-related group (quantum.princeton.edu), followed by six weeks at IBM Quantum in the TJ Watson Laboratory at Yorktown Heights. A stipend and housing/housing allowance are offered at both sites. The whole program will be complemented by a summer seminar series with talks across a large range of topics in quantum information and different quantum platforms, as well as other career development and mentoring events. This is a great opportunity for students to both perform cutting edge quantum research and get industry experience in a single summer.

Cancer-focused Summer Undergraduate Research (CanSUR) at Case Western Reserve University:CanSUR supports 32 undergraduates for a 10-week period (June-August) and scholars receive a stipend of $4,000 for the summer with additional housing/travel allowances available for select participants. Students from across the country get to work, learn, and play in Cleveland, Ohio – the “Rock & Roll” city known for its leading hospitals, dedicated sports teams, unique museums, and beautiful parks and beaches.

Summer Internships:

Pfizer Summer Internship: [NEW]

Pfizer medicinal and process chemistry is looking for talented undergraduate and graduate students with a strong interest in synthetic organic chemistry to participate in summer internships. Research will be conducted at one of our major R&D sites in Groton, Connecticut or La Jolla, California.

Program outline:

Students will have the opportunity to work for 10-12 weeks directly with a medicinal or process chemist investigating a novel research project or as part of a larger project team. The internship includes various programs introducing the students to scientists within the Pfizer organization and concludes with a poster session.

Applying:

Undergraduate students who have completed at least two years of courses and graduate students pursuing a PhD who have completed at least one year of research with their research advisor will be considered. Candidates should apply via the link found below. A resume and cover letter are required. The application portal is open until 3/4/2022. Students will be interviewed on a rolling basis, so I encourage them to apply as soon as possible.

Graduate School:

The CBI Program:

The CBI Program provides students with research and academic training that enables them to carry out interdisciplinary research as independent scientists. Students completing the program receive a Ph.D. in Chemical Biology.

The CBI Program brings together 32 faculty from the Schools of Arts & Sciences, Engineering, Public Health and Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, and provides a diverse selection of research projects for CBI students. In order to assist them in choosing a research advisor, first year graduate students are supported by a NIH Chemical Biology Training Grant. During this time the CBI students carry out three 10-week research rotations that enable them to broaden their research skills and make informed choices of research advisors.

Since its establishment in 2005, the CBI Program has received an enthusiastic response, and we have attracted an excellent group of students. Our program has grown to over 35 current Ph.D. students. Previous graduates have gained employment in commercial, government and academic institutions. With your help, we hope to continue expanding and developing this exciting program.  In addition, we are committed to sustaining excellence by fostering a diverse community including underrepresented minority students and students from underserved backgrounds. The program particularly welcomes minority applicants and applicants with disabilities.
