Summer Internship Program for Undergraduates
|
Paid undergraduate intern research positions are available at WALII campuses across the US each summer. Summer interns working on projects relevant to anhydrobiosis are trained by graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty from the WALII network. Interns working on projects related to WALII 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.
