Summer Undergraduate Internships

LIMR offers funded summer internships for undergraduate students in their freshman, sophomore, or junior years who are interested in pursuing careers in medicine and biomedical research.  Interns will receive a $3,200 stipend for an 8-week internship that can be extended to ten weeks with the approval of the mentor. 

We anticipate having 6 interns for the 2009 summer program.  The program will run from June 8 through July 31, 2009. Four Interns will be involved in basic medical research in the laboratory and two interns will be involved in human clinical trials research.
