Biology interns work with and study living organisms and their behaviour. The duties of previous interns have included:
|
|
Biotechnology is predominantly concerned with the exploration of biological process, but for industrial purposes. One of the companies we work with focuses on cell-based therapeutics, and are developing insulin-producing cells in micro-capsules for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. An intern would be part of the team, and might acquire general knowledge and practical experience with:
|
/
I will miss the amazing people of Australia I met, both at work and in my house, but also how everyone greets you when they meet you in the street, no matter if they are strangers, they would always say 'hi', it makes my day!

A Data Analysis intern might undertake such tasks as:
|
/
Besides my internship my highlight was to travel on the weekends with my fellow interns. I never would have thought I would be making such close friends who I know will be there for years to come.

Dermatology is the branch of medicine that is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders. An intern might be part of a team consisting of scientists, engineers, software developers and skilled melanographers. Their duties might include:
|
|
Food Science and Technology interns are concerned with the production process that make foods. Roles provide experience in quality control, food safety and health and safety. Responsibilities include:
|
/
If you are thinking about going abroad and doing an internship, do it! It will be one of the best decisions you ever make.

As a Forensics intern, you will be involved in using scientific techniques in order to detect crime. An intern might expect to:
|
|
Marine Biology is concerned with the biology of organisms that reside in the sea or other large bodies of water. Previously, interns have worked with some of the leading marine research centres and Government Research facilities in Australia. Interns in this field may carry out such tasks as:
|
/
Don’t be afraid to talk in another language,
the people in Australia will always help you! And try to see as much as possible.

In the past, candidates have interned in many areas of Medical Research. An intern's duties in this field might include:
|
|
Molecular Biology is a branch of biology focusing on the structure and function of macromolecules. Interns can be involved with various projects such as the synthesis of novel tunable Janus hydrogen's as a novel bio-material for 3D cell culture/biomedical applications through the design of 3D architecture of porous nature, using a 3D printer. Hydrogels offer a good support structure for cell and tissue growth as a synthetic extracellular matrix. Janus hydrogels, comprising of 2 different types of gels in separate hemispheres will serve as a novel scaffold by maintaining two properties, within the same droplet gel, to make a tuneable environment for cells."

A previous intern in the field of nutrition was involved with a project where their responsibilities included:
|
|
The following was the role description for a previous Physics intern:
"The intern will assume the role of a short term research assistant who will be involved in cutting edge research in applied physics and engineering. More specifically, the role will involve assisting postdoctoral research fellows or PhD students in their respective projects, all of which center around developing a miniaturised laboratory on a chip-scale device for biotechnological applications that span point-of- care diagnostics, drug screening, drug delivery, biosensing and tissue engineering. The projects involve either experimental and theoretical/numerical work in manipulating fluids and bioparticles (e.g., molecules/cells) at the microscale and nanoscale." |
