High school internships

Every year, we welcome 9th and 10th grade interns to the laboratory. A typical program is outlined at the bottom of this page. These internships take place twice a year:

  • a session in early February for 9th grade internships,
    a session in late June for 10th grade internships.

If you are interested, please fill out this form before December 15 for 9th grade internships or before the end of February for 10th grade internships.

A selection committee will meet to select a maximum of four participants per session. Special attention will be given to students who are not familiar with the research environment. With this in mind, a cover letter is required in order to better understand the students' background, interests, and expectations.
