Etudes Non Stop Study Non Stop
The OIST Graduate School offers educational and research opportunities through a system of undergraduate and graduate internships as research interns. These 2 to 6 month internships allow you to gain experience in a particular laboratory or learn a specific technique. Trainees work under the supervision of a professor at OIST and contribute to OIST research activities. The specific assignment of tasks is at the discretion of the IP and is subject to change.
The medjouel.com team informs you that places for research trainees are allocated twice a year on a competitive basis, with the application period months in advance. For more details on the application process and deadlines, please see the section “ Apply for a research internship ”.
