Internships
Every summer since 2000, the Hepatitis B Foundation has recruited
outstanding college students for its Summer Internship Program, located in Doylestown, Pennsylvania (25 miles north of Philadelphia).
College students who are in their junior or senior year are eligible
to apply for this 10-week summer program that includes a modest
stipend.
Interns work with professional scientists from the Hepatitis B Foundation and its research affiliate, the Institute
for Hepatitis and Virus Research, and the Drexel
Institute of Drexel University College of Medicine. Valuable mentoring and supervision of
individual projects is provided for each student. At the conclusion of the summer, interns
present their projects to the entire faculty in a special seminar.
The Summer Internship Program is supported, in part, by a grant
from the U.S. Department of Education and funding from the Merck
Community Foundation and the Sigety Family Foundation.
The Student Internship Program has established an excellent record
of accomplishment. To date, there are 43 Program alumni who have
completed their undergraduate studies. All have enrolled in either professional (medical or veterinary)
or graduate school or have found
employment in the biomedical field in either biopharma or in academia.
| To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume and two academic/professional references by February 27, 2009:
(it is expected that positions will be filled by April 15)
