  • Helios Scholars Program at TGen

    Opportunities encompass all aspects of the translational research pipeline including laboratory and clinical research, and computational sciences such as bioinformatics. Interns work under the mentorship of a TGen scientist on diseases and disorders such as autism, ALS, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, infectious disease and a variety of cancers including breast, pancreas, brain and melanoma.

    Throughout the summer, Helios Scholars unlock the secrets of the human genome, present their research to peers, attend seminars and social networking events, and design a scientific poster for the program capstone: a day-long formal research symposium.

    For more information, including the online application, essay and recommendation letter guidelines for both students and references, accomplishments of past interns and answers to frequently asked questions, visit: http://www.tgen.org/intern

  • SUMMER 2011 RESEARCH PROGRAM at The University of Kansas Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry


    The Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Kansas offers a ten week Summer Undergraduate research Program. Students will perform independent research under the supervision of faculty members, applying chemical principles to problems involving drugs and related molecules. In Pharmaceutical Chemistry, the emphasis is on promoting the therapeutic effects of the drug or minimizing toxicity, or controlling delivery of the drug to specific sites of action. This involves increased attention to physical-organic, physical and analytical chemistry. Detailed information on projects for the summer will be provided in the application packet. Participants receive basic instruction in laboratory and research techniques, including laboratory safety, effective use of major university science library, and instruction in first-hand use of specialized laboratory instrumentation of importance to a given research problem. The program is designed to provide an opportunity for students to evaluate the possibility of entering a graduate program in the pharmaceutical sciences. Accordingly, students are provided the opportunity of engaging in a full-time research experience in close collaboration with faculty members and graduate students. As a direct result of the summer undergraduate research experience, many of our former participants have entered graduate schools and successfully completed doctoral degrees.

  • R&D - Doctoral Summer Internship Program-RND00002028

    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.

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