2023 Summer Internship Program for Undergraduates
|
Paid undergraduate intern research positions are available at WALII campuses across the US every summer. Summer interns work on projects relevant to anhydrobiosis for 9-12 weeks. Interns are trained and mentored by graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty from the WALII network. Interns working on WALII projects are expected to spend 40 hours per week working on research in the labs, attending internship and networking opportunities at their host institution, and participating in virtual WALII network activities. Applications for Undergraduate Summer Interns open annually in the fall. Follow us on X (formerly Twitter) or contact us to join the mailing list to hear about WALII summer internship announcements.
2023 Summer Seminars
Interns attend virtual talks from world-class scientists working in WALII labs to learn about their career paths and current work. All summer seminars are at 11 am PT / 12 pm MT / 1 pm CT / 2 pm ET.
