The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) invites undergraduates to apply for a summer 2018 internship
program in economics. Internships may work
full-time or part time during the months of June, July, and August. 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.
