Synopsis
Summer internships are available for qualified high school and undergraduate students interested in plant genome research. Interns will be placed in one of 16 participating labs according to preference and availability. The interns will be mentored by a graduate student or post-doctoral associate and will work with their mentors on a project related to plant genomics. They will learn the latest in molecular biology techniques, and depending on the lab, may also participate in fieldwork. All students will attend lab meetings, read and discuss recent literature related to their project, and will present their research to the other students, principal investigators, and mentors at our student symposium.
