Description

Our program gives undergraduates an opportunity to spend 10 weeks during
the summer doing research as an intern in the lab of a mentor at Janelia
Farm. The scholars are encouraged to attend weekly seminars and other
events at Janelia. At the end of the session, each scholar will present
their work at a symposium.

We want to identify some of the very best future scientists, engineers,
and mathematicians interested in our areas of research at an early
career stage. We expect this to enrich the students’ intellectual
development and to benefit research at Janelia.
Eligibility
Any matriculated undergraduate may apply.

Requirements

Students are required to spend a full 10 weeks at Janelia. We provide
accommodations in our housing village. There is also an allowance of
$4,500 for the 10-week period. The program also supports the most
economical travel to and from Janelia.
Application
Students must apply via our web-based application system. Candidates
must supply academic data, resumes, and name two individuals to supply
letters of reference. We also ask candidates to specify the lab head
they want to do research with at Janelia and propose a project. We will
use these short research proposals as our main tool to decide between
candidates. The following seventeen lab heads are recruiting students
this year (for more information please see their web pages at
