NCBC Industrial Fellowship Update
Last month I posted "N.C. Biotechnology Center Launches Industrial Postdoctoral Fellowship Program", which provides a transitional training experience for Ph.D. scientists seeking careers in industry. This program provides NCBC Fellows with salary and benefits support during their two-year employment by the sponsoring companies.
The North Carolina Biotechnology Center (NCBC) just announced that the following five North Carolina life sciences companies have been chosen as sponsors for the inaugural year of the NCBC Industrial Fellowship Program:
Affinergy, Inc. (Durham, NC): develops site-specific biological delivery systems, such as constructing bifunctional peptide linkers that can selectively immobilize proteins, cells, and therapeutics onto biomaterial surfaces.
Aldagen, Inc. (Durham, NC): a biopharmaceutical company developing proprietary regenerative cell therapies that target significant unmet medical needs with four product candidates in clinical trials.
BASF Plant Science LLC (RTP, NC): BASF Plant Science (BPS) was founded in 1998 as a multinational plant biotechnology organization performing research and development aimed at optimizing crops for efficient agriculture, renewable raw materials for specialty products, and to provide healthier nutrition for humans and animals.
Targacept, Inc. (Winston-Salem, NC): a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that discovers and develops NNR Therapeutics , a new class of drugs for the treatment of central nervous system diseases and disorders.
Tengion, Inc. (Winston-Salem, NC): a clinical-stage biotechnology company, is a leader in developing neo-organs and tissues derived from a patient's own (autologous) cells.
Applications will be accepted for these fellowships through August 22nd, 2008. Visit the program website for details about the program, the online application form, and submission instructions.
Please note:
* Candidates must complete all items on the application form and indicate a specific fellowship opportunity for which they are applying.
* Candidates will be required to attach a CV or resume with the application before submitting via e-mail as instructed.
* A candidate may apply for more than one fellowship if their qualifications and career interests are applicable to multiple opportunities, but these must be submitted as separate complete applications.
* Candidate applications will be collected by the NCBC and forwarded to the sponsor companies. Companies will select the candidates to be hired as NCBC Fellows.
