The Global Health Internship Program at Seattle Biomedical Research Institute (SBRI) provides an opportunity to spend the summer working side-by-side with some of the leading scientists in the world, in an environment devoted exclusively to infectious disease research. SBRI will place 3 highly qualified undergraduate interns at the Institute. The program runs for a period of 10 weeks and culminates with a formal report and presentation by each intern.
With SBRI scientific staff, interns will assist in specific research projects in a designated SBRI scientific program. Prior to beginning work in the laboratory, interns will receive training with chemicals and biological materials and learn sterile and other general scientific techniques. Laboratory tasks include solution making, sterilizing, library research, materials inventory, etc. In some instances, work may include tissue culture, gel electrophoresis, DNA preps, bacterial cultures, and computer work. The experience will help prepare students interested in careers related to the biosciences. To complete their assignments during the 10-week period, interns should be willing to make a commitment of 35-40 hours per week.
To be eligible, candidates must be undergraduate students with Junior or Senior status in the following academic school year. Entering freshmen, sophomores, and recent graduates are not eligible. Current SBRI employees and returning interns are also ineligible.
