[Arabidopsis] Plant Genome Research Program Internship 2008

[PGRP Outreach]

Plant Biology Internships at Cornell University

The Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) at Cornell University and 
Boyce Thompson Institute is sponsoring undergraduate summer 
internships in Ithaca, New York.  Internships are 8-10 weeks in 
length in one of the participating labs currently doing plant genome 
research.  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 be attending lab meetings, reading and 
discussing recent literature related to their project, and will 
present their research to the other students, principal 
investigators, and mentors at our summer student symposium. 

Requirements:
Students must be either US citizens or permanent US residents (green 
card holder). 
Applicants must be enrolled in a college/university for Fall 2008. 
Applicants must be one of the following: high school seniors 
attending college in the Fall 2008, college freshman, college 
sophomore, college junior, or a non-graduating college senior.
For participation in the program, student interns will be provided a 
stipend, housing, and some travel expenses.
