HMS Systems Biology Internship Program

About the Program The Undergraduate Summer Internship is our headline program enabling undergraduate students to collaborate with our researchers, as well as their own peers, at Harvard's FAS Center for Systems Biology and the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School. Participants work in our labs, gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art tools, learn cutting-edge scientific techniques in our dynamic research environment. Students interested in pursuing a PhD or MD/PhD, and students from under-represented minorities or disadvantaged backgrounds, are especially encouraged to apply. The internship runs from June to August each year. In addition to housing--including access to Harvard recreational and athletic facilities--each intern will receive a stipend of $4,500. Our Community Every year, the internship features presentations, seminars, lectures, career events, and a chance to do some fun things around Boston. Interns will also have the opportunity to take advantage of our proximity to Boston's diverse cultural and social scene, conveniently accessible via the T, Boston's public transport system. In addition, interns will be part of Harvard's annual Undergraduate Research Village, and will have a chance to interact with interns from several other Harvard internship programs. The internship will end with a poster session, during which participants will present their research alongside fellow Harvard interns.
