MCIP Grad Group at UC Davis

The Internship and Career Center is excited to promote our upcoming virtual internship and career fair with various opportunities for our Masters, PhDs, and Postdoctoral Scholars. The fair will take place on Handshake. Registration is open!

Winter Internship and Career Fair
Date: Thursday, February 24, 2022
Time: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm PT
Location: Online via Handshake
https://ucdavis.joinhandshake.com/career_fairs/26051/student_preview?token=xeVbe5xZzZ-KBTYRdDUk1TF84FoGelb1qZedjBfVz0qKD4eTGNZAWg

We will have 70+ employers out of 100 targeting graduate students and/or postdoctoral scholars, with diverse employers ranging from biotech companies and wineries to government agencies and national labs.

To attend, students, postdocs, and alumni can register and then sign up for group or one-on-one sessions. If the employer does not have sessions yet, follow the employer on Handshake, enable notifications to receive updates on newly created sessions, and check back often.

For your convenience, we are linking a view-only Google spreadsheet highlighting the employers, the positions they are hiring for, their targeted degree areas, which links to a separate sheet of session fill rates. This spreadsheet is not comprehensive; therefore, we encourage you to visit the fairs on Handshake or employers’ websites to view all job opportunities.

p.s.
Consider having your resume ready for this fair! You can submit your resume, CV, and cover letter to the Internship and Career Center’s Document Review service to receive feedback within 5 business days. Also, master’s students can schedule a 30-minute peer-advising appointment with a graduate student peer advisor.

Weekly Student Spotlight: Each week we will highlight MCIP student work. Check out this newest publication from one of our students!
"Our lab presents a quick and cost-effective pipeline for the generation of scarless isogenic cell lines for the functional modeling of disease associated SNPs and Variants of Uncertain Significance. The pipeline takes advantage of CRISPR/Cas9 precision genomic editing paired with KASP genotyping for a widely accessible method that we hope other labs will consider adopting. Our goal is to make the use of CRISPR/Cas9 homology-directed repair more approachable with this method!" - Nicole Coggins (Carvajal-Carmona and Segal labs).
