Summer Internship Program
Description of the program
With the aim to encourage students to pursue a scientific career after graduation, the IDIBELL offers undergraduate students in their final year of university and Master's students the opportunity to join any research group and complete their training during the summer.
A maximum of 10 internship positions will be available.
Students will receive theoretical and hands-on training that will allow them to conduct research at IDIBELL.
"The Program gave me the opportunity to experience first-hand what it is like to be a scientist and gain valuable work experience in neuroimaging research and data analysis. I personaly applied to it because this program aims to support undergraduate and master students from diverse backgrounds who seek to pursue doctoral (Ph.D.), like me, training in neuroscience and prepare for rewarding careers in biomedical research”
Ana Pamela Chavarría, MD.
"Thanks to these practices I have been able to learn numerous concepts of molecular genetics, as well as make use of different molecular techniques that enrich my scientific knowledge. In addition, they have sparked my interest in continuing to work in research, for which I greatly appreciate the granting of this aid"
Jennifer Delgado Martinez
