[RASMB] Intern Position Available

[Hayes, David]

Hi All,

 

I have been given permission to hire a summer intern at MedImmune.  My
hope is to get a computer literate graduate student who already likes to
play with protein structure files and have them learn some AUC and
chemistry if necessary.  In other words, we will even consider computer
geeks who have never held a pipette.  But of course, if someone has an
AUC student who wants to play with HYDROPRO and SOMO and wants a summer
job, that is preferred.

 

I do have to note that MedImmune does not fill out H-1B forms for summer
interns.  To my understanding, this means that students studying on a
F-1 or full time student visa cannot apply for this internship.  The
only exception to this "no off campus work for non-immigrant students"
rule is if a school has an active co-op program as part of the
curriculum, then there is a special exception called Curricular
Practical Training (CPT). 

 

Candidates may reply to me directly for discussion or more information,
but to start the official process they must apply for position # 01497
at the career section of the MedImmune.com web site.
