Princeton Neuroscience Institute (PNI) is offering a summer internship program for highly motivated undergraduates, providing education and hands-on research experience for undergraduates who are interested in pursuing a graduate degree in neuroscience or a related field. Participants will closely collaborate with students and faculty at PNI on original research projects, and thereby gain invaluable first-hand experience on what it is like to be a neuroscientist.

Each student is placed in a world-class research laboratory – headed by a faculty member – and carries out an original research project. Students are thoughtfully matched to labs based on their research interests as indicated in their application form, recommendation letters, and personal statement. Careful consideration is taken of each applicant’s overall experience, academic background, and objectives.

Summer interns will also participate in group educational activities, including weekly foundational overview lectures from PNI faculty, summer courses in R, Python, and Matlab, lab meetings with the researchers with whom they will work, special professional development workshops on topics such as career advice and graduate school application preparation, end-of-summer poster session, and will attend the Leadership Alliance National Symposium.

This program offers travel cost reimbursement to and from Princeton, campus housing, and a meal plan.
