We host undergraduate students from Stanford as summer interns through the Bio-X interdisciplinary program, and the Wu Tsai NeURO fellowship program. Both programs include 10 weeks of full-time research, as well as other social and educational opportunities. Applications to these programs are due in December (Bio-X) and February (NeURO). If you are interested, please contact Professor Giocomo at [email protected] to set up a time to discuss project opportunities.
Non-Stanford students from underrepresented groups in science can also apply for summer internships through the SSRP-AMGEN program. Undergraduate students at Stanford who are interested in pursuing research projects over the academic year should contact Professor Giocomo. We do not offer unpaid internships. Students either receive course credit (NBio 199) or are paid for their work in the lab. |
