Student Research Opportunities
OFF-CAMPUS: This list is now being updated for summer 2011.
International Opportunities and Opportunities for International Students: Internship for International Students (PDF), Prepared by Joo Hyun Im '10 (December 2009).
This PDF document contains two parts:
- Biology Research Internships for International Students in the U.S.
- Biology Research Internships for All Students Interested in Working Outside of the United States (non-REUs)
ON-CAMPUS: - An information session about summer research projects mentored by Biology faculty is typically held for interested Grinnell College students each January.
