Description

The JCVI Summer Internship Program is an opportunity designed to mentor and inspire the next generation of great scientists. While occasionally we do have interns other times during the year, our official program runs from May through August, and provides motivated high-school, undergraduate and graduate students with an in-depth, structured research experience that includes:

  • A dedicated mentor
  • Collaboration and networking with world-class scientists
  • Hands-on participation in research projects tailored to their academic experience
  • Access to state-of-the-art equipment and technology
  • Judged poster presentation

During the course of the summer program, there are numerous workshops designed to help develop scientific and professional skills. These include journal clubs, career development sessions and multi-disciplinary scientific seminars.
