Fully Funded CRG Summer Internship Program for Undergraduate and Master Students

The Genomic Regulation Center (CRG) is launching the 8  ^th  summer internship program to offer  undergraduate   and   master’s  students  the opportunity to conduct summer research at the CRG. The objective of the program is to encourage students, whatever their nationality, to pursue a scientific career and introduce them to an international laboratory experience.

Positions will be allocated on a competitive basis, taking into account the student’s academic records and motivation and reference letters. Each student will be paired with a specific laboratory based on the student’s interest and background.

To complete the internship, fellows will have to provide a final scientific report and participate in certain activities that will be organized throughout the internship.

Areas of concentration of opportunities:

• Bioinformatics and genomics.
• Cell and development biology.
• Regulation of genes, stem cells and cancer.
