Our technology can be used to detect early onset of disorders and to unlock emerging treatments by serving the critical unmet need of measuring treatment efficacy such that disease management therapies can be evaluated and optimized.

Job Brief:

We are looking for a self-motivated student with an interest in medical science & sales to join our team and help us achieve an important project: to foster a collaboration with a disease management or disease research organization.

To be successful in this role, we encourage you to learn by doing. You are not expected to be an expert. Experience in sales will help, medical sales experience is preferred. Due to the international nature of our work, this position is remote. Ultimately, this is a great opportunity for the aspiring biotech entrepreneur to get experience commercializing research. It is also a great opportunity to develop greater understanding of commercialization efforts behind medical technology. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with people from around the world in a very early-stage start-up. A large part of your role is self-directed - perfect if you enjoy autonomy!

Desired Skills:

• Network internationally with a Salt Lake City-based organization
• Have solid deliverables at the end of your internship

Additional Information:

• This internship is part of the Facilitated Internship Program. If the student works fewer than 100 hours, it will be considered a micro-internship. What is a micro-internship? This is a fairly new concept and is like an internship, but involves fewer hours of work. Although the hours are fewer, the experience is still robust and an intern for this position would end with a solid portfolio, experience in coding, and an expanded network. The stipend for the micro-internship is $100. All other aspects of the Facilitated Internship Program are the same.
• Applicants are encouraged to apply for the Career Exploration Scholarship.
