Solving Biotechnology Challenges
The Molecular Sensors and Biotechnology track is structured to provide students with 6-months of coursework and 9-months of paid full-time internship. Take part in immersive coursework that brings together organic chemistry, chemical biology, analytical chemistry, molecular sensing and imaging.
The internship is a unique opportunity that provides our students with on-the-job training, allowing them to earn a paycheck while completing their master’s degree.
paid internships since 1998
compensation for offers in past year
within three months
Alumni will share their experiences in the program and their careers. See if this is a good fit for you! The session will include a program overview and opportunity to ask questions.

What are molecular sensors?
Molecular sensors are organic chemistry applied to biology and biotechnology. This interdisciplinary field comprises chemical biology, chemistry, imaging, and data analysis. Our playground is the lab bench and hood, and includes synthetic chemistry, compound characterization, biological imaging, and using chemical tools to solve biological problems.
For the fifth year in a row, the UO has conferred the most master’s degrees in physics in the country.
Thermo Fisher Scientific, a long-term partner of the Knight Campus Graduate Internship Program, has committed $20,000/year over the next 5 years to support Inclusion & Diversity scholarships.
