Student Council started its new career development initiative called Student Council Career Central (SCCC) with a booth at ISMB/ECCB 2009 in Stockholm, Sweden. This initiative is an endeavor by the Student Council to address the needs of recruiters and job seekers in the area of computational biology.

SCCC provides a platform for research institutes and companies to attract some of the best talents in computational biology from the Student Council community and attendees at ISCB conferences all over the world. Sponsors are invited to conduct recruitment sessions and purchase resumes of bioinformaticians looking for jobs.

Internships
 
Welcome to the Internship section of the ISCB-Student Council website. It is an initiative taken up by Student Council under the umbrella of Student Council Career Central (SCCC). As a student managed body we understand it is important to get the right guidance and a good mentor during the early years of training. We aim to address these challenges by organizing internships for undergraduate and graduate students in collaboration with leading international research labs and institutions working in the field of computational biology.

We are happy to announce the first internship as part of this initiative at Schneider lab at EMBL, Heidelberg starting in January, 2010. We would also like to thank Dr. Schneider for kindly offering this internship exclusively organized by Student Council. You can find more details about the application process at the link below.
