Printer FriendlyThe Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) has launched the Life Sciences Internship Challenge, a program that will provide Summer 2009 internships to at least 100 undergraduate Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) majors who are considering career opportunities in life sciences -- in either an industry or academic setting. Students who have completed at least their junior year or have graduated within the past year are eligible to apply.
Students selected for the Internship Challenge will receive a stipend of $4800 for eight weeks of work. Host companies or institutions will commit to providing a dedicated mentor and a meaningful internship opportunity.
The MLSC is now accepting web-based applications for the Life Sciences Internship Challenge via the MLSC web site www.masslifesciences.com. There is no formal deadline for student applications, but you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to maximize your chances of finding a match with a host institution.
The application requires that you submit a cover letter in which you describe your area of study and why you are interested in working in the life sciences and a resume. If you would like assistance with these documents please contact the Office of Career Services in 200 Southwick Hall at 978-934-2355 or take advantage of drop-in times to meet with a career counselor.
