First of all, a big thanks to Neil Saunders, for his blog, which is where I heard about the nature group..

However, lets cut to the chase, shall we ?

Currently, I am studying bioinformatics in Austria, and am in a position where I have almost 8 months to spare, starting February 2008, until the next semester starts. Thus, I was wondering if anyone here knows of or maybe can suggest any company or research facility where I can use this free time to gain a bit more real-world experience by doing an internship. Something outside Europe is actually preferred, so don’t hesitate just because of geographical issues..

If somebody doesn’t want to answer here or wants additional information feel free to drop me an email: daniel.jurczak AT fh-hagenberg.at

In the case that this thread is some way inappropriate; Sorry, I just thought that it would make sense to ask here.

cheers Daniel
