Undergrad Intern - Oncology Research

Amgen's Oncology Research department at our Thousand Oaks headquarters is looking for an undergraduate student interested in a 10 - 12 week internship to work with a multidisciplinary team focused on developing therapeutics for the treatment of cancer.

Assay techniques will include flow cytometry, microscopy and Western analysis. The intern will also learn skills for characterizing proteins and small molecules. Our group has extensive experience in these techniques and will provide a rigorous and thorough training environment for the intern. Experimental results will be reported to the team in informal weekly meetings providing the intern with the opportunity to develop and practice presentation skills.
