The BioPharmaceutical Development (BPD) department at AstraZeneca, which focuses on creating novel products that fight disease and transform quality of life, has a two-year Rotational Associate Program (RAP) that consists of three eight-month rotational assignments across various BPD functions.
The program enables recent graduates to make a difference by working on challenging technical projects supporting the development of protein therapeutics in the areas of Cell Culture and Fermentation, Purification, Analytics and Protein Characterization, Formulation, Delivery Devices, Clinical Logistics and Manufacturing. The program is designed to equip participants with an understanding of each BPD function's role in the drug development process, enable them to grow professionally and ensures a full-time position in BPD at the end of all three rotations.
AstraZeneca is looking for scientists with a focus on biology, chemistry, biochemistry, engineering or related discipline (Bachelors and/or Master graduates with 0-2 years prior work experience). Individuals should have strong academic performance, strong technical and lab skills, be critical thinkers, have good communication skills and a collaborative working style. Candidates should have a passion for science and a strong interest in a career in drug development.
AstraZeneca will be accepting applications for a start in 2023 beginning July 19th. Applications for the program will close in the US on September 18th.

]]>We are disappointed and sad to inform you that Walter Christopher, who has been a member of the UMBC Police force for two years, is the person arrested in connection with a series of suspected arson incidents on campus. Mr. Christopher is currently being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.
When the arson incidents were reported on campus beginning in December 2021, UMBC Police immediately worked with the State Fire Marshal to investigate. Today's arrest was based on the results of this joint investigation. We are grateful to all those from our campus and beyond who participated. We take these allegations very seriously and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement authorities as the case moves through the judicial process. We will keep the campus informed of further developments.
