The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) invites undergraduates to apply for an internship program in
economics. Internships will be for one
academic semester; interns will be expected to work two days per week during
most of the semester. The program is year round, with internship terms
corresponding to fall and spring semesters or during the summer. The intern
will work with the Economics Staff in the Office of the Commissioner. The
intern will assist members of the Economics Staff in conducting economic
analyses of major FDA policies and regulations having to do with food, human
drugs, medical devices, biological products, tobacco products, and animal drugs
and feed. The intern will report to an Assistant Director of the Economics
Staff. The qualifications include meeting the University’s requirements for an
internship; at least 6 completed semester classes in economics, which must
include a class in intermediate microeconomics; and a class in econometrics or computer
methods of data analysis. We encourage students to apply 6 to 8 weeks before
the beginning of a semester.
To be considered for this internship, please send a cover
letter and resume to Clark
Nardinelli at clark.nardinelli@fda.hhs.gov.
