The Centre for Drug Research and Development (CDRD) offers an innovative, academic-industry hybrid training program for its trainees (currently PDFs, co-op students and interns). We will soon be making the formal announcement of an exciting new Internship Program for graduate students.   This 4-month internship program will offer a small number of graduate students the opportunity to participate in a multidisciplinary scientific team working on drug discovery and development projects, gain new knowledge and skills, and access state-of-the-art equipment.  Eligibility requirements for students applying to this program include the following:  Senior doctoral students should be nearing completion of their thesis work and must have the full support and written permission of their supervisor and program advisor or Head before applying. Successful applicants will receive a stipend from CDRD to cover their salary during the internship program.  For more details on the Internship, including general information and application criteria, may be viewed on the CDRD website under the new “Training” tab (http://www.cdrd.ca/graduate-student-interns <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=40604354&msgid=545488&act=F6WK&c=297651&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdrd.ca%2Fgraduate-student-interns> ).  Upcoming internship positions may be viewed under the “Careers” tab (http://www.cdrd.ca/careers <http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=40604354&msgid=545488&act=F6WK&c=297651&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdrd.ca%2Fcareers> ).   If you are currently supervising a graduate student that may be interested in pursuing an internship with us, please forward this information to them.
