Internship and Research Opportunities 

Help our lab moving forward! There are many internship and research opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students. UFABC undergrad students can apply for the annual internal programme for scholarships and choose one of the lab's research areas to work on. Interns/volunteers are also welcome, which is an opportunity extended for external undergrads. For grads there is the opportunity to join the staff by applying for our Postgraduate Programme on Evolution and Diversity. Grads in other postgraduate programmes can apply for our Research Collaborator Programme. If you are neither undergrad nor grad student, there are also our junior scholarships (contact us for further details).
