[RASMB] Intern Position Available

Mon Apr 13 07:18:08 PDT 2009

Hi Dave,

Sorry, for intern positions MedImmune does not sponsor the paperwork to
anyone who does not already have working Visa status in the US.
Students at a US university can get the "curricular practical training"
exception.  It is unlikely then that anyone from Nottingham would
qualify.

MedImmune is one of the few companies that is hiring and it may be worth
looking at the MedImmune careers web site for regular non-intern jobs.
But the local company HGSI has recently laid off quite a few scientists,
so the competition for the open jobs has increased.

Hello David,

We have 49 masters students on our Applied Biomolecular Technology MSc
here in Nottingham who we are trying to place in industry. It is not
unknown for us to place overseas (we have done Canada, Malaysia, the
rest of the EU and Vietnam before). They have done some AUC theory, but
can train appropriate candidate practically before the placement if
needs be.

Do you mind if I pass this opportunity over to our placement officer as
we maybe able to fill this position with a suitable candidate for you.

Regards

Dave.

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.
