The BioXFEL Summer Internship Program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research in the fields of structural biology and XFEL science. The program is designed to introduce students to the use of X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) in studying biological structures at the atomic level. XFELs are powerful tools for capturing detailed images of biomolecules, which can lead to breakthroughs in fields such as drug development, enzyme function, and understanding complex biological systems.
Who can apply
- Undergraduate Status: Applicants must be currently enrolled as undergraduate students, typically sophomores, juniors, or rising seniors.
- Interest in Science and Research: Applicants should have a strong interest in structural biology, biophysics, XFEL science, or related fields.
- Academic Achievement: A strong academic record in science courses is required, particularly in fields such as biology, physics, chemistry, or computational biology.
- Application Materials: Applicants are generally required to submit a resume or CV, a personal statement outlining their research interests and career goals, unofficial transcripts, and letters of recommendation.
