All of the Organizations listed below that have already updated their sites for 2009, or offer opportunities on an annual basis will be indicated by a (2009) after the co-op link
This
website has selected co-ops from the larger Biology
& Biotechnology Co-op Opportunities on the Web
website that has
"biomedical engineering "as a descriptor or
may be of particular interest to students considering a career in the field.
In addition to the valuable experience and good pay that a
Co-op or Internship will give you, very many of the Opportunities
listed on this website also provide Travel
Reimbursement, Housing and Meals.
So, don't let concerns about living expenses or the location of an organization
posted on this website prevent you from checking out an exciting and challenging
Co-op or Internship position!! If travel support, housing and meals are provided,
this information will almost always be included in the details about the Co-op
or Internship that can be found by clicking on the co-op
website next to the organization's name and location.
To view information for any organization listed below:
a.
Point and click with your mouse on the organization's
name to go to its homepage
(for a university or college, you might want to go further to the homepage of
the sponsoring department or program at that university or college,
if it is not already the "homepage" link that is provided here).
b. Point and click with your mouse on co-op
to go to co-op/internship/research
postings for that organization or to the website
from which you can then access the co-op/internship/research postings
