Sponsors of the iCons Program
These companies support the iCons Program through targeted internship opportunities that further build on iCons students' interdisciplinary and team-based problem-solving skills. They have a vested interest in the success of iCons students, and possibly hiring iCons students into jobs. If you are interested in applying to either of these companies, please fill out this application.
Anika Therapeutics, Inc.
Company Location: Bedford, MA
Company Focus: Medical technologies for immunology, tissue regeneration, and sports medicine. Anika is a mid-sized organization looking for self-motivated problem solvers.
- Internship opportunities at Anika Therapeutics for Summer 2019 are under negotiation and will be posted here soon.
Company Location: Milford, MA
Company Focus: Research with analytical scientific instruments and software with applications in health, environment, and energy.
This position represents an exciting opportunity for a young scientist or engineer to assist in the development of novel technologies utilizing both chromatography and mass spectrometry. The candidate will work closely with the Global Research organization of Waters Corporation, a world leader in analytical instrumentation used in all areas of chemical, biochemical, and clinical analysis. The Waters Global Research organization is a multidisciplinary team of scientists, software developers, and engineers responsible for the development of next-generation separations systems.
Waters is looking for creative scientists and engineers who want to be part of a fast-moving research team who enjoy hands-on, in-the-lab prototyping. This may involve the creation of a new instrument or implementing current technology in a new way to solve a problem. In 2016 for instance, the iCons students developed a novel device to analyze human breath by mass spectrometry. Ultimately this device could be used to diagnose disease or establish health criteria.
This role will guide and shape development of new products and applications for Waters by integrating scientific and engineering knowledge in the areas of pharmaceutical development, clinical diagnostics, bio-medical research, material science, food, and environmental testing.
