[bioundgrd] Fwd: Internship announcement

[Janice Chang]

Seeking Summer Interns
Agrivida creates renewable fuels and chemicals from agricultural crops. Many of
these products are traditionally made from petroleum-based resources, however,
Agrivida's technology enables manufacturers to use plant raw 
materials for efficient
and economical production. Our initial projects are focused on plant molecular
biology for the production of biofuels and fermentation chemicals. 
Although we are
aggressively entering these market sectors, our long-term goals are 
to have an even
greater impact in these industries.

We have several openings for full-time undergraduate interns in biology on our
molecular biology, biochemistry, and plant biology teams. Typical 
projects include
gene discovery and cloning, gene design and protein expression, plant 
cell culture
and transformation used in making transgenic plants, and enzyme 
characterization.
Successful candidates will have previous experience with some, or all, of the
following techniques: aseptic technique and cell culture, bacterial 
culture, PCR, DNA
isolation, restriction/ ligation of DNA, gene cloning, Southern 
Analysis, Western
Analysis, protein purification, protein expression, enzymatic assays, and other
common molecular biology/ biochemistry techniques.

If you are looking for summer work within an exciting early stage biotechnology
company, please send a cover letter and resume to the email address below, with
the subject line "internship."
Interested students can send an email to careers at agrivida.com.
