Subject: JIFSAN internships available for summer 2017 and beyond

Description:
JIFSAN is accepting applications for internships to begin in the summer

The JIFSAN internship program, a collaboration between the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration and the University of Maryland, has several positions
available beginning in the  summer of 2017. Most positions will continue
through the 2017-2018 academic year. JIFSAN interns must have completed at
least two college semesters and be enrolled as undergraduate students at the
University of Maryland, College Park during the time of their internship.

Interns are expected to work 30 hours/week during the summer of 2017 and part
time (8-10 hours/week) during the academic year.  Current freshmen,
sophomores and juniors are encouraged to apply. Students who plan to graduate
in December 2017 are generally not eligible. After a 100-hour volunteer
commitment, interns are eligible for a paid internship at $10/hour.

The application form (in Word format) and more information about the program
can be found at http://jifsan.umd.edu/internship-program/. Complete
