Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) Internship Program 2019/2020 for Study in Harvard ($5,000 in Funding)

Application Deadline: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2020.

The Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) Internship Program (HIP) provides non-Harvard undergraduate students with a focused and challenging summer research experience in a cutting-edge stem cell science laboratory. Interns are exposed to different professional options within the scientific arena through a stem cell seminar series, a career pathways presentation, and a weekly stem cell companion course. Students present their summer research findings, both orally and in poster format, at the HIP Symposium—a requirement of all program participants.

Eligibility

This is an UNDERGRADUATE internship program open to rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors who express a strong interest in stem cell biology.

Candidates must be enrolled in a program in the natural sciences.

Applicants may be from any college or university across the United States and internationally. Harvard University will sponsor the visas for international students who are selected for this program.

NEW FOR 2020: Harvard students working, or seeking to work, in stem cell labs at Harvard will not be funded by HSCI but are encouraged to seek funding from other sources at Harvard. These Harvard students are invited to particpate in the weekly class and social activities.

Stipend
A stipend of $5,000.00 will be provided, and this is intended to cover transportation, meals, and personal expenses related to participation in this program. Students, especially international students with J-1 visa requirements, will require evidence of greater personal financial resources to support their time at Harvard.

Undergraduate Research Village Housing 
Interns are required to live on-campus in the Undergraduate Research Village (Winthrop House is the likely venue). HSCI will cover the cost of housing for interns in the research village and will provide a microfridge for each resident. Meal plans are not available for HIP participants. Interns are strongly advised not to bring a car as parking is not available.
