Elanco Animal Health Research and Development is located in Greenfield, Indiana, about 20 miles east of Indianapolis . Over 100 scientists conduct research on all phases of animal science on this 1,300 acre site. In conjunction with the Lilly Summer Internship Program, Elanco Animal Health will be offering an internship program for the summer of 2001 for students to explore research in food producing animals. Applicants for the internship program must at least be entering their junior or senior year in college in the fall of 2000.
Students entering postgraduate education are also eligible.
This internship program is designed to give interns a summer project that will challenge them and allow them to work independently under the guidance of a mentor. These projects will make use of the students' skills and knowledge and will aid them in obtaining a better understanding of animal health and science. Interns will gain experience in protocol design, model development, good experimental technique and documentation, data interpretation and presentation. Elanco Summer Interns will have the opportunity to develop their leadership and communication skills that are fundamental for a rewarding career in the animal health industry. Most importantly, interns can expect to gain valuable hands-on experience during their summer with Elanco Animal Health Research and Development.
