In the summer of 2012, the Academic Initiative will bring as many as three interns to the SENS Foundation Research Center in Mountain View, California to participate in SENS research for three months. These interns will receive stipends of $2000 per month. If they are not local to the San Francisco Bay Area, they will also receive a credit towards airfare.

Undergraduate, graduate, and medical students are all encouraged to apply. Applications from people who are not presently working towards university degrees will also be considered. After an initial selection process, the most promising candidates will be interviewed over the phone by the SENS researchers they would work with. Each major research program at the Research Center plans to host one intern, such that each intern will be working on a different project and will be selected by different researchers. It will be important for applicants to have prior lab experience, and more experienced applicants are more likely to be accepted than relatively inexperienced ones.

Applications are due by March 31, 2012. The most promising applicants will be interviewed in April. As always, if you have any questions, you can contact us.
