Internships and Summer Programs for Undergraduate Students
The Fellowship is aimed at highly competitive students who wish to, and have demonstrated the ability to pursue graduate careers (Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D.) in microbiology. Students will have the opportunity to conduct full time summer research with an ASM member and present research results at the ASM General Meeting. Students will conduct a research project for a minimum of 8 weeks beginning in the summer, work with a faculty mentor who is an ASM member, and submit a research abstract to ASM for presentation at the ASM General Meeting.
A ten week program combining formal classroom work with independent research in areas of crucial concern for marine biologists today. The program is designed to provide undergraduate students with a modern research experience employing physiological, cellular and molecular techniques to address questions in areas such as environmental bioindicators, algal physiology, acid-base physiology, respiratory physiology, immunology, population genetics, and evolutionary biology of marine organisms.
The Research Experiences for Undergraduates program is a 12-week summer program that gives students what for most is their first opportunity to conduct independent research in ecology as part of a research community.
Undergraduate and graduate students participate in an interdisciplinary study of the fifth largest icefield in the Western Hemisphere. Emphasized are geology, geomorphology, geophysics, mineral exploration, physical geography and GIS, glaciology, arctic ecology, meteorology, climatology, glaciohydrology, environmental science, remote sensing and GPS field surveying and mapping.
An internship program for students that have completed their junior year of college, including recent graduates and graduate students. The work involves routine lab duties, maintaining coral aquaria, assistance with research projects, helping visitors (researchers and students), assisting with volunteer programs, library maintenance, courses (summer only) and developing a project of your own. Research focuses on corals including their physiology, culture for reef restoration, disease, and environmental biology.
Mountain Lake's Research Experience for Undergraduates brings undergraduate students from around the country together for an exciting ten-week program of guided, but independent, original research in field biology.
The Planetary Biology Internship Program provides opportunities to explore scientific questions of global scale about planet Earth. Each year the PBI Program sponsors eight or nine interns who undertake research at NASA Research Centers or NASA-sponsored laboratories and academic institutions.
SF funds a large number of research opportunities for undergraduate students through its REU Sites program. An REU Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates who work in the research programs of the host institution. Each student is associated with a specific research project, where he/she works closely with the faculty and other researchers. Students are granted stipends and, in many cases, assistance with housing and travel.
U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science
This program places students in paid internships at any of several Department of Energy facilities. Many of the participants in the program have decided on a career in science and engineering because of the nature of the experience. Students work with scientists or engineers on projects related to the laboratories' research programs.
Summer Student Fellowships - awarded to undergraduate students completing their junior or senior year at colleges or universities, studying in any of the fields of science or engineering with at least a tentative interest in the ocean sciences, oceanographic engineering, mathematics, or marine policy.
