Application Deadline: March 18th, 2021
This summer, we are offering 2 opportunities for high school students. Both opportunities will be virtual. The application for each of these opportunities is the same.
1. Current juniors (11th graders) only are eligible for ISB’s paid 8-week (~320 hour) formal summer internship. This summer’s possible internship topics include but are not limited to: computational biology, the microbiome, cancer, systems medicine (medicine that is predictive, preventative, personalized and participatory) and bioengineering with algae. All projects are aligned with a current ISB project which is driven by a mentor. Students will learn about systems biology and apply their learning to a research project. Depending on the project, students will also learn and/or deepen understanding in scientific, engineering, math, coding, and other professional and computer-based skills. All projects also include: a) interviewing ISB professionals to learn about various career paths, b) building a website that describes the internship project and experience, and c) helping out with school-based curriculum development if pertinent. We are seeking 2-10 temporary High School Interns to work in the Baliga Laboratory and/or other ISB Labs.
