JOB DESCRIPTIONS

Research and Development:  The R&D intern program provides an opportunity
for students to work closely with a senior scientist in order to improve
technical skills while being given a developmental opportunity in an
industrial setting.  It is desirable that the intern have past practical
experience in handling chemicals, operating laboratory equipment, generating
and manipulating data, as well as computer database and word-processing
skills.  Interns are encouraged to be creative and take initiative, where
appropriate, and will be granted significant latitude for discretionary
decisions and independence of action within guidelines established by their
supervisor.  Interns are expected to always operate in a safe and efficient
manner.

Qualified interns should be pursuing a BS or MS degree in biology,
chemistry, informatics, or closely related majors.  Students having
completed at least their junior year are preferred.  A chemistry intern
candidate having a working knowledge of organic synthesis and/or experience
with modern chromatographic techniques is highly desirable.  For a biology
intern, it would be advantageous to have a working knowledge of their area
of study.  Interns will be part of a team responsible for the development of
novel agricultural products.  Good interpersonal, communication,
organizational, teamwork and time management skills are essential.

Primary responsibilities:

*         Review and research project background and status with mentor

*         Become proficient in laboratory and/or greenhouse experiments or
biochemical assays to characterize experimental, developmental, and
commercial herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and products of
biotechnology

*         Participate in all phases of research including planning,
preparation, calibration, application, evaluation, data analysis,
maintenance, and when necessary, appropriate disposal.

*         Design and conduct experiments, with mentorship guidance, within a
defined project

*         Make novel observations

*         Collect and interpret data

*         Draw sound scientific conclusions based on data analysis.  The
results of these studies, and the conclusions generated, will impact
research plans and advancement decisions on the experimental materials.

*         Present project reviews before colleagues and peers

Sales and Marketing:  Qualified candidates should be pursuing a BS degree in
agricultural science or business disciplines.  Experience in agriculture or
related industry is highly desirable.  Time management, communication, and
personal initiative skills are critical for the independent problem solving
required for this internship.  Basic requirements of responsibility and good
work ethic are essential for the independent work required by this technical
service position.
