Malaria Web Summit and Summer Internships

Advances in Malaria Research: In the Lab and the Field
Groundbreaking Science in the Fight Against One of the World's Deadliest Diseases

Thurs., November 12, 2009 at 12:30 pm EST

Each year more than 300 million malaria cases occur world-wide. Nearly one million people die of malaria every year, most of them are children. In Africa, malaria is responsible for one in five childhood deaths.

Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute (JHMRI) are on the cutting edge of world-class basic science and clinical research to treat and control malaria, develop a vaccine, and find new drug targets to prevent and cure this deadly disease.

During an interactive web summit, participants will hear the latest findings in the fight against malaria from top researchers at JHMRI and have the opportunity to ask questions in real time. In addition, participants will be able to visit remotely the JHMRI insectary where mosquitoes are bred, raised and studied at the heart of the Institute's scientific operations in Baltimore, MD. Participants will virtually meet researchers who use NASA data to map the movement of deadly malaria carrying mosquitoes. They'll also hear from researchers based at the Macha study field site in Zambia, a living laboratory for mosquito and human behavior in malaria-stricken areas.

UMBC students are invited to participate in this Web Summit to learn more about Malaria research and may gain an edge in applying for Summer 2010 Research Internships with JHMRI.

Awesome Web Development Position! $30 per hour!

WebMechanix is looking for a Web Development RockStar. Is it you?

Have you ever started your own website, or helped friends or family with theirs? Have you heard of things like “HTML”, “CSS”, or “domain name servers”? Are you looking for some training to take you natural web development aptitude to the next level? Do you like money, fun, learning valuable skills, and meeting important people? Would you like to earn a lot of money working almost entirely on your computer?

RockStar Job Description

We are bringing in 1-2 smart college RockStars to help us work with our expanding client base. The position will consist of a variety of different types of activities and is a bit difficult to define in just a brief job description.

The main activities will be learning and experimenting with the technical side of effective online marketing, and then actually helping us do it for clients. Things like HTML and CSS will be a major part of the experience, but there are many other aspects as well.

For instance, there will likely be a good bit of reading, writing, and interfacing with clients as well. Additionally, you may end up becoming an expert at things like Google Adwords, Facebook marketing, search engine optimization, and copy writing. You will also be learning about business by participating in strategy meetings, going on meeting with existing and potential clients, and generally just learning a lot about this fast-changing and lucrative industry.

Since we’re a startup tech firm, every day is fun and different and for this reason, it’s difficult to define exactly what you will be doing.

One day you may be learning the ins and outs of internet marketing, the next you may be out at a client’s office shooting a YouTube video, and then the next day you may find yourself sitting in on a sales meeting with a couple of CEOs. You will get experience in everything from sales and marketing, to finance and operations, to human resources and research and development. It will be a mixture of time spent working here in our office as part of our team, and time spent working independently, which you can do at your house, the Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, or Puerto Rico (anywhere that you have access to the internet).

This is an incredible opportunity for the right candidate. Companies are hiring SEOs (people who know SEO) like crazy. http://tinyurl.com/llx4ay . And they definitely don’t teach it in school. The only way to learn SEO is to attend expensive seminars, teach yourself, or learn it from somebody like us.

Interested? Apply today on UMBCworks!
