UT Dallas Chemistry Internship

 

Macrocyclics has created an internship opportunity exclusively offered to current students at the University of Texas at Dallas. The Internship is intended to give students experience working in a chemical manufacturing lab and generate awareness as to the application of chemistry in industry. Daily activities will include:

 

• Packaging of product, receiving of chemicals, inventory audits

• Hands on use and maintenance of equipment including rotary evaporators, reactors, freeze dryers, loading and using flash/prep chromatography systems, sample method development for set up of LCMS and in-process work for Macro non-GMP quality control.

• Conduct hands on chemical reactions where the intern works almost entirely autonomously (for example preparation and purification chelate/metal complex)

• Assist a PhD chemist on a project. By the last month of the internship the student will assist in the synthesis and purification of a commercial product including analytical analysis using HPLC, IR and NMR.

The program will run from May through August. Interns will receive pay at $15 an hour and work of 30-40 hours. Work schedule is flexible such that students can take days off when needed or work half days. Start time is between 8-9, leave by 6:00pm.
